The Farmers Markets in Surry County began in the early 1990’s with a handful of farmers who had a desire to provide quality produce to local people. The NC Cooperative Extension began as the advisor. Farmers sold produce and fruit out of the back of their pick-up trucks in various parking lots throughout the years.
Since then, the Surry County Farmers Market has grown and farmer faces have changed. Market items have expanded from produce and fruits to include a variety of farm items such as honey, fresh cut flowers, plants, meats, crafts, and more. Our markets have grown, prospered, and are now governed by a working board that strives for superior markets. Though changes have occurred, our overall market goal remains constant:
Our farmers and vendors produce fresh, local, quality products for local people.
