Farmer's Markets Around the Triangle

The Triangle and surrounding areas are host to many farmers markets that do their best to ensure that the local farmers have a market to sell their goods. This is a great local economy stimulator as the money is spent where people live and the farmers are then able to put that money back into the economy and produce more food and more for the local market.
