The Farmers Market is Open
The Durham Farmers Market is open now through October. The market is in the Pettee Brook
Parking Lot every Monday from 2:30 to 5:30 PM. There are several farmers selling vegetables
and fruit, and residents will also find cut flowers, plants, bread and pastries from
Currents Bakery, and more. Buying from local Farmers Markets encourages local food production,
keeps land open and in farming, provides fresh, healthy food for residents, is a way of
teaching our children where food comes from, and is an opportunity to meet the farmer who
grew the food.
