More Than A Market
For generations, the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market has connected local farmers, food makers, artisans, and neighbors in one shared community space.
Who We Are
Greensboro Farmers Market (GFM), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, operates the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market on behalf of the City of Greensboro.
The Market remains proudly producer-only, meaning the products sold here are grown, raised, baked, crafted, or created by the vendors themselves. Farmers, makers, bakers, and artisans from within 100 miles of Greensboro gather each week to provide fresh food, handmade goods, and meaningful community connection.
Today, the Market includes more than 100 vendors, 175 vendor tables, and welcomes approximately 250,000 visitors annually.
Why Local Matters
Every purchase at the Market helps support local farms, small businesses, and a stronger regional food system.
Support Farmers
Buying local helps sustain family farms, strengthen rural communities, and preserve agricultural traditions across the Piedmont region.
Strengthen the Local Economy
Local spending supports jobs, keeps money circulating within the community, and contributes to a stronger regional economy.
Fresh, Safe, Seasonal Food
Local produce is often harvested close to market day, giving you better flavor, freshness, and connection to the seasons, while following safe handling standards.
Build a Resilient Food System
Strong local food systems help communities remain adaptable and less dependent on long-distance shipping.
Encourage Sustainable Practices
Many local farmers use thoughtful growing practices that help protect land, water, and natural resources.
Experience Greater Variety
Local markets introduce customers to seasonal foods, regional specialties, heirloom varieties, and handmade goods.
Rooted in Greensboro Since 1874
The Greensboro Farmers Curb Market, likely the oldest continuously operating producers’ market in North Carolina, was founded by the City of Greensboro in 1874.
For generations, the Market has served as a gathering place where local farmers, neighbors, and small businesses connect through food, commerce, and community.
What began as a traditional curb market has evolved into a vibrant year-round community space supporting farmers, food makers, artisans, and local entrepreneurs.
Food Security & Community Impact
Greensboro Farmers Market believes everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food.
Through partnerships, grants, fundraising efforts, and community support, GFM works to expand food security programming that increases access to healthy foods, supports local farmers, strengthens the regional food system, and helps create a more equitable food economy.
