This spring weather makes me crave fresh fruits and veggies and being outside. There are some local farmer's markets that combine all of these things. I will be visiting all of these over the next couple of months to further our efforts to eat healthier. Plus some of them offer great activities to do with your kids. To keep up with news on all of these farms as well as others, visit this great website called Local Harvest.
South Charlotte/Ballantyne/Waxhaw:
Poplar Ridge Farm offers fresh, organic produce, flowers, eggs, meats, and goats milk cheese. They have a market stand but also offer home delivery!! Check their website for more info. |

Hall Family Farm has been family owned and operated for 70 years. I have personally visited this farm to pick strawberries and it was great! Berry picking is going on now so check their site for hours and pricing.

A well-known shopping spot by local chefs, this market has a wide range of fruits and veggies as well as grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, eggs, and much more! They are hosting two great upcoming events: April 30th, bring a friend and you are entered for a $50 gift basket from the market. May 7th is plant and garden day. There will be experts on hand to teach both adults and kids some helpful information! |
