It's sad to say it's taken me this long to make my way to the Durham Farmer's market. I'd been hearing about it for ever and ever and I kept telling myself . . . "Next weekend I'll go for sure." Well I guess it was that time. Em and I hopped on over one saturday late morning just catching the tail end of the market and it was glorious.
Fresh Herbs
There were so many beautiful produce sitting around waiting to become a beautiful dish, and so many colors from the neat crafts being sold there. If you have the time and live anywhere near this market you really need to go. Parking wasn't terribly difficult considering you can park on the street around most of the market. The atmosphere is friendly and the vendors are more than willing to talk to you about their produce and how it's grown.
"Ears"
Who knows maybe you'll even meet a new friend there like I did. This is Ears. He's a rescue dog who was there waiting on momma to pick up some fresh foods.
Anyways, definitely get your butts down to the Durham Farmers' market. You will most definitely no leave empty handed.
Cheers,

How does it compare with the Carrboro Farmers' Market? Carrboro is a little closer to me that downtown Durham, but if it's noticeable better, I might start making the effort to go out that way.
In my opinion it's better than the Carrboro Farmer's Market. The Durham market has a wide array of vendors and the farms offer different products. Some farms have specialties. Brinkley Farms has the best meat, Bluebird Meadows excels with fresh locally grown flowers, etc.
The market is well worth the trip and a key component of Durham's fast growing slow food movement.
You said "butt." Teehee.
