Love Your Farmer's Market Contest

There're local and vegetarian--convenient location. They care about the environment and bringing healthy food to their customers who have become their friends.

The produce is good, in additional the workers are friendly.

One of the best things about Charlotte. The vendors are so passionate about their wares. It's a fun outing I look forward to going to twice a week.

They just rock! Plain and simple! Good folks, great food, honest local grown produce.

the manager has a heart for not only local farmers but also urban farmers and people who grow in their backyard....thus creating community..people come to the market to buy and end up gathered in groups talking to folks...connections are made..recipes shared...chefs doing demonstrations...it's funky,diverse and growing....Lynn,the manager also puts out a great weekly newsletter to vendors and customers alike to let them know what is coming down the pike for that week or event.I love it!

The Charlotte Tailgate Farmers Market is the only true farmers' market in Charlotte. The farmers are required to be located within 50 miles of Charlotte and to use sustainable practices. I am often disappointed when going to a farmers' market and finding produce from other states and countries, often priced higher than the grocery stores. The CTFM is a fun atmosphere and I enjoy talking to the local farmers, many oof whom have small farms right in the city.

Fresh, local and organic. What's not to love? It's Charlotte's shining example of a farmer's market done right!

local urban growers proving Charlotte CAN be progressive

The Tailgate Farmers Market adds a lot to the South End/Dilworth community, which would otherwise only have large supermarkets to choose from for produce. It's also a lot of fun and provides a nice, relaxed social environment during the weekends.
