There is nothing that says "summer" more than a fresh tomato and mayonnaise sandwich on classic white bread...unless it's farm-fresh golden sweet corn on the cob...or juicy, red watermelon still warm from sitting in the sun...or delicious peach cobbler. Whatever your summertime favorite dish is, it likely contains fresh produce in some way or another! One of the most fun ways to get those fruits and veggies you crave is to purchase them at one of the area's farmers markets - from NC Agriculture Department-sponsored markets to local farm markets. Below is our far-from-comprehensive list of great places to enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of summer. Please do share any of your favorites that didn't make it onto our list!
By the way, the NC Agriculture Department created a handy chart to help you know “What’s in Season?” as far as NC fruit and vegetable availability: You can find it here to download and take with you when you shop!
