Greensboro Farmers Curb Market (501Yanceyville Street) will open the seasonal Mid-Week Market on Wednesday, April 18th, 2018. Patrons may shop for freshly picked produce, farm fresh eggs, local dairy products, pastured meats (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and goat), seafood, authentic European styled breads and baked goods, local cut flowers, potted plants, and artisan goods now twice a week, every Saturday (7am -12 noon) and every Wednesday (8 am-1pm).
Lee Mortensen, Executive Director notes, “Mid-Week Market offers patrons an opportunity to stock up on all local provisions, and a more laid back atmosphere to visit with the vendor than our peak Saturdays, grab breakfast or lunch and dinner fixings to go and even take a meeting in our café seating. The Market has plenty of free parking and free WiFi on site too as well as picnic table dining outside and café seating inside.”
