Respect And Safety
We really appreciate how you've worked with us these past weeks to make your shopping experience safe and enjoyable, in particular the overwhelming number of customers who have followed Governor Cooper's latest requirement to wear a face covering while inside the market. Your respect and responsibility is an attractive feature that can't be hidden behind a mask. We see it and it looks good on you.
For the time being, the entry control system will continue between 8 am and 9 am. We will continue to monitor the situation between 9 am and 10 am and decide whether any further entry control is necessary. We want to lessen your wait time as soon as possible, while avoiding large crowds inside the market. Once again, we thank you for your patience and respect.
Avoid lines by pre-ordering and picking up later in the morning. Click HERE for a list of those vendors facilitating pre-orders. If you see several people lined up at one vendor's booth, please consider completing your other shopping before joining that line, especially if you've already pre-ordered with that vendor. Please maintain adequate social distancing as much as possible by adhering to the orange distancing lines painted on the ground and following the signs when lining up at vendors' booths.
Need A New MCFM T-shirt?
Because the community house has been closed to the public, we haven't been able to facilitate the regular sales of market merchandise. We know how much you love our t-shirts, caps and tote bags, so we'd like to work something out. Please click "Merchandise" below for details of available choices and then email us at with your order by no later than July 11. If we receive enough interest, we'll place an order to replenish our stock with our supplier.
Recipe
This week's featured recipe is Baked Chicken Wings With Nonni's Red Pepper Jelly Glaze by Bob and Debi Schiavone (MCFM vendor Nonni's Gourmet Kitchen).
Market Information Table Relocated
The market information table has been relocated to the small grassy area to the left of the entrance to the community house. SNAP/EBT, icepops, water and market information will be available.
Some Last Minute Reminders...
-
Line up for your peaches to the left of the traffic cones in front of the community house and follow the arrows.

Please do not handle the fruit and allow a volunteer to hand you your purchase.

Did You Know...?
...Chefs are a catalyst for the market's success and in educating the public about the importance of local foods and supporting local farms
"The chefs who shop at our market and buy from local farmers have been a principal force in driving the local foods movement," says grower Sam Koenigsberg of New Town Farms. "They have made the market what it is today and have helped the market continue to grow. They have that platform - through a plate of good food - to educate people. That plate of local food is the window back to the farm. Chefs have an enormous role in advancing the market and making more local food available for you, the consumer."
... that the musicians who play so beautifully volunteer their time and talents?
We are so grateful for the enjoyment their music brings.
