The Durham Farmers' Market is a producer-only farmer's market located in Durham, North Carolina, established in 1998.[1] As part of the Market's emphasis on locally produced produce, crafts and flowers, items sold by the Market's vendors are restricted to traveling no more than Шаблон:Convert on its journey to Durham.[2]
The Market's founding in 1998 coincided with a renaissance of downtown Durham, including the founding of Durham Central Park (2001), American Tobacco Campus (2004) and West Village (2000), as well as the opening of a number of highly regarded restaurants with an emphasis on locally sourced produce, that resulted in Durham being named "America's Foodiest Small Town" by Bon Appétit in 2008.[3]
Location
From its founding until 2004, the Durham Farmers' Market was held in the gravel parking lot of the Durham Athletic Park; in mid-2004, the market moved to the paved parking lot of Measurement Incorporated's headquarters. Beginning in 2007, the Farmers' Market found a permanent home under the Pavilion at Durham Central Park.[1]
