Be VERY, VERY carful about joining this gym facility. I am a professional businessman with a great deal of experience running companies, and I can attest personally that this facility is not reputable or ethical in there behavior and how they treat their customers. The facility is very poorly managed. Do yourself a favor and look around and interview other quality organizations, as there are many in charlotte, this is not one of them!

I can’t believe it took me this long to visit this little farmers market. Located next to CMC’s huge campus this market sits in an old building(Yes, Charlotte still has some old buildings left). Parking is on the side or in the back and you can always find a space unlike the King’s Drive market or the one on Yorkmont. Inside, they have all the produce you’ll find at any other farmer’s markets and most of it is local. The tomatoes were from Rowan County. Beverly’s gourmet foods can also be found here and she has some amazing meals. Go for the Buddha’s Diet Delight if you see it. Trust me! There’s also a stand for sweets and cakes and a stand for handmade clothing. This place sure beats the frustrations of the the larger farmers markets. It’s convenient to home, easy in and out, they are open 6 days a week, and the staff is really friendly.

I was about to start the battle for parking at the King’s Drive Framer’s Market, when suddenly, I remembered the Mecklenburg County Market. I used to go there years ago when we lived in Dilworth. I was able to find ample parking and didn’t have to elbow people to get to the tomatoes. The market offers not only gorgeous produce and free range eggs, but prepared vegan/vegetarian food, soaps and baked goods. And, you remember the old song, «The Farmer In The Dell?» Well, there is actually a farmer here whose name is Dale! I purchased corn, okra, beautiful heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, peaches, a spaghetti squash, and summer squash at prices that didn’t break the bank. Needless to say, I have been putting together the most sumptuous meals this week. I will be back to get my fix of fresh, fabulous food.

I absolutely love this little market. It is a year round, all weather type market. It is old, in doors, friendly service and great produce. There are also little knick knacks and home made treats. I especially like the tomato pie and veggie lasagna in the freezer section. The produce is fantastic– you can still find a fresh heirloom tomato in the fall(he has a green house). You feel like you are stepping back in time(except that they do accept debit cards– unlike most markets!)

I love this hidden gem which also happens to be the oldest farmer’s market in Mecklenburg county. It is full of locally grown delicious produce! Heirloom tomatoes, big boys, hot house, purple Cherokees… you name it, they have it. In addition to the corn, peppers, peaches, berries, eggplants, etc… they also have jams and local baked goods. Lastly, the Beverly’s Gourmet meals to go are divine! Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available. The tomato pie is fabulous! These are great meals to drop off when you have signed up to bring a meal to a friend and cannot find the time for homemade… these meals are homemade, just not in your kitchen! They take a debit card. Located next to CMC-Main, park in rear.

The oldest farmer’s market in NC! I have no idea how I’m the first to review. Great little selection of locally grown foods. If King’s street market wasn’t a couple blocks away I think this place would be known by all. Kind of a hidden little spot next to the hospital. Fair prices, great friendly service and, a diverse selection of staples and prepared foods. That pretty much says it. The history alone means its at least worth a visit.
