Davidson Farmers’ Market

Amazing! So many great nice local people! Not only can you grab beautiful fresh flowers, but you can pick up fresh veggies, you can even taste some local wines! Don’t forget to stop at Summit Coffee for the best coffee in town as well!

I love this market! They have a great local variety in the summer. It is kid and dog friendly. And they even have a food truck Saturday mornings serving up breakfast and lunch. A great Saturday morning stroll.

great place. Make sure you come early as things sell out fast. The ice pop guy is amazing and so are the homegrown crepes if you wish to have a bite to eat. Also they have great music and good demos. Mae sure to get on their FB page for updates

For such a small town, and considering it is the cold season, many vendors had lovely offerings. There were not many stalls but I have never seen such beautiful turmeric and ginger root.

There’s a decent produce variety with a few organic and heirloom options. I’m a cheese fanatic but haven’t yet found any that I love, so try before you buy.
Prices are average overall except for meat, which is pricier than other markets I’ve frequented in the Ohio River Valley or the Hudson River Valley.
This market also feels a little different in that there seems to be more (emotional) distance between buyers and vendors. However, this is THE place to be on Saturday mornings. Lots of happy dogs and children are out and about, and the community is truly at its best.

We’ve been going to the Davidson Farmer’s Market pretty much every Saturday for a few months now. For some reason I never thought to look and see if it was on Unilocal,but I decided to look today and sure enough there was a listing. If you’re in the Lake Norman area and like the idea of getting farm-​fresh produce then this is the place to be.
The Farmer’s Market is open every Saturday from 8 – 12 during the Spring and Summer and is located right next to the Town Hall. You can’t miss it… just follow the multitude of traffic! I have two complaints about the Farmer’s Market, and the number of people who go is one of them. Finding parking is always an adventure, and there is a ton of traffic on Main St. that will just slow everything down to a crawl. Once you manage to find a place to leave your car (there are several parking lots to choose from) you can walk over to the stands and begin to immerse yourself in fresh produce.
There are plenty of different stands to choose from, and most have their own specialties. The majority of them focus on fresh veggies, and everyone’s prices are pretty much the same, so you don’t have this need to «shop around.» However, there are one or two stands that charge $ 1 more a pound for their produce, so watch out for them. There are also a couple of fresh meat vendors, but their prices are a bit too high for my taste. The price of the meat is my second complaint. The veggies and fruit costs a bit more than it would if you went to Harris Teeter or Lowes Foods, but the «supporting your local organic farmer» is worth the little extra. Unfortunately, the meat is priced significantly higher than you would find it in the stores. If we had more disposable income we would definitely go here weekly for our meat purchases, but as of right now the prices are a bit too high, despite the better quality.
There are also other stands that offer more than meat and produce. There are at least two stands selling fresh baked bread that looks really good. One farmer sells homemade jams and jellys, and they are delicious. The peach jam is particular was 100% tastetacular. There is also an Amish couple that sell some pretty amazing pasteries/​desserts. Definitely stop by their stand and snag a donut or whoopie pie… both are pretty amazing. A couple of other vendors are set up selling crafts, pet items, and more. There’s definitely a little something for everyone here. Also, I would like to note that most vendors only take cash, but a few have credit card readers for electronic transactions.
If you’re looking for fresh food and are willing to spend the extra couple of bucks to support local farmers, then this is the place to be. Bring family, friends, pets or anyone else you want, and they will enjoy checking the place out. Just be prepared for the multitude of other people who are also bringing all their buddies along with them as well.
