The Durham Farmers’ Market is a mid-week community market featuring locally grown produce, meats, cheeses, and handmade goods from vendors located within seventy miles of the pavilion. If you are visiting with kids, the afternoon timing is ideal for a post-nap outing. The market takes place under a covered pavilion, which keeps you out of the direct sun, and the adjacent grassy park is perfect for letting children run around. Admission is free, but you will want to bring reusable bags and card or cash for purchases. This market makes a great stop for parents who want to skip the crowded weekend grocery lines. You can grab fresh ingredients for dinner, pick up a treat for the kids, and let them burn off some energy at the park all in one quick trip.
