Welcome
The Davidson Farmer’s Market (DFM) is a producer-only, year-round market featuring more than 35 farmers and local producers from within a 100 mile radius. The market is a lively gathering place for meeting friends and for learning about food, agriculture and nutrition.
Growers and producers are on hand to answer your questions, from “How was this grown?” to “How can I reduce my carbon footprint?” The local producers at the market include farms, nurseries, bakeries, meat and poultry providers, and specialty foods producers; no distributors or resellers.
The DFM includes a variety of quality goods, such as certified organic, naturally grown and conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, grass fed beef, pastured pork, eggs from free-range chickens, fresh baked goods, prepared foods, fresh cut flowers, herbs, and bedding plants and more.
Join us each Saturday morning in Downtown Davidson. Chef demonstrations, musical entertainment and educational activities are planned throughout the season. Check the events calendar
for more information.
Location
The DFM is located between Main and Jackson Streets in downtown Davidson next to Town Hall – just minutes off Interstate I-77 and exit 30 in the Lake Norman area. >>map
