About the Market
Background
The Campus Farmers Market at NCSU has been a staple on the university grounds, providing a platform for local vendors to sell their products directly to students, faculty, and the surrounding community. It operates weekly from September through November, creating a seasonal hub for fresh, local produce and artisanal goods.
Practices
Run by students, the market emphasizes education and the importance of supporting local agriculture. Vendors are selected from within North Carolina, ensuring that all products are locally sourced and contribute to the regional economy.
The Rest
The market features a diverse array of products including fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, cheeses, chicken, eggs, peanut butter, salsas, dips, soaps, cookies, jewelry, and other gifts. It is conveniently located in the Brickyard in front of DH Hill Library, making it easily accessible for the university community.
