GBA EastFarmers Market
We are the largest all volunteer market in North Carolina. From the Market Board to those that help setup and take down the market every Saturday, it is all run off volunteer power. The market focuses on supporting local small farms, educating our community on the advantages of eating fresh local food, and teaching our community to grow their own food. An important distinction that the Mount Holly Farmer’s market has from it’s surrounding markets is that produce, specifically, is local and seasonal. Out of season produce is not allowed at the market and a farm vendor must grow at least 75% (some are even 100%) of what they sell. Vendor farms are frequently visited throughout the year to ensure this distinction stays intact. You will find a community that is engaged in the market and a market that is engaged in the community!
