Come meet your local farmers and artisans and celebrate NC agriculture and craftsmanship with us at the Sanford Farmers' Market! We offer a diverse selection of seasonal vegetables, fruit, meat, flowers, baked goods, crafts, and more, all produced within your community! Farmers markets are essential for farmers, food entrepreneurs, and artisans to support their operations and give consumers weekly access to seasonal fruits and vegetables picked at peak ripeness. We operate on Saturday mornings from 8:30am to noon from April to November.

We have moved our website! Visit us at https://www.sanfordfarmersmarketnc.com/

Produce Spotlight and Pollinator Pairings

The Sanford Farmers’ Market and the Extension Master Gardeners of Lee County have teamed up to develop a guide for home gardeners to learn how to grow some of their favorite produce while also learning about the important pollinators that help pollinate the plants they come from or benefit from that plant just being alive in its ecosystem. Know it to grow it!

For more information, contact Meredith Favre, the Local Foods Coordinator and Market Manager with N.C. Cooperative Extension in Lee County at (919) 775-5624.
