🍠 Root Fest at the Carrboro Farmers' Market

Join the Carrboro Farmers’ Market in celebrating our region's humble root vegetables in honor of the start of our winter market season. Saturday, November 7th is the first Saturday of the Market’s winter hours on Saturday (9am-12pm), and is the perfect time to celebrate our root vegetables perfect for all of your upcoming Thanksgiving and holiday dishes. Fill your market baskets with seasonal favorites like sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, ginger, potatoes, and more - all grown within 50 miles. At Root Fest, shoppers can enjoy vendor specials that feature root vegetables, an educational display about sweet potatoes (North Carolina’s state vegetable!), samples of recipes that feature root vegetables to inspire your shopping, a potato stamping craft for the whole family, and much more. Root Fest is supported by the CFM’s Big Beef Tomato Sponsor, Laser Image Printing & Marketing and San Marzano Tomato Sponsor, Endswell Funeral Home. The CFM is open Saturdays year-round (7am-12pm April-October and 9am-12pm November-March) and Wednesdays seasonally (3-6pm April-November) at Carrboro Town Commons.
