Charlotte Farmers Markets Worth A Visit

Charlotte may be a big city but that doesn’t mean that residents are any less interested in eating locally grown, farm-fresh produce. While some area retailers sell locally sourced meat, produce and baked goods, families can count on any of the many local farmers markets serving the area to supply them with the season’s best fruits and veggies, some year-round. In addition to providing access to locally grown and produced food, many area farmers markets offer special events geared towards families, educational programs for young children and live entertainment. With farms in every direction on the outskirts of the city, there are loads of unique offerings waiting to be discovered. Check websites for operating hours and week-to-week offerings from the farms.

THE BIGGIES

The Charlotte Regional Farmers Market, located on Yorkmont Road, is the largest farmers market in the area and open year round. From locally raised meat, regional and unique produce, homemade breads and honey to crafts, handmade soaps, fresh flowers and plants, the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market tempts all the senses. Get a tasty treat like kettle corn, a doughnut or snowcone to enjoy while shopping.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
