The Matthews Farmers' Market
Where: 188 North Trade St., Matthews, NC 28105
Hours: Saturdays- 8am-12noon - Year round except the weekend after Thanksgiving
Look no further than the Saturday morning farmers' market in Matthews for the largest producer-only market in the Charlotte area. All of the products sold come from a 50-mile radius and customers have the opportunity to buy their food directly from the local farmers.
I was delighted to find cooking demonstrations by a local chef on my first visit. Not only did I learn some handy new tricks, but I was introduced to a local restaurant that I might not have discovered otherwise. The other shoppers were friendly and quick to share their weekly menus combining all the treasures they were purchasing and I could hardly wait to get home and jot down all of their wonderful ideas.
On any given Saturday morning you can find farm fresh eggs, beef, chicken, pork, rabbit, cheese, butter, greens, fruits, vegetables, honey, flowers, locally made crafts, chef-prepared delights, and any other locally grown or created item that you can imagine.
Some of my favorite market events have been Tomato Tasting Day in late July, kids' crafts, and enjoying the local musicians who perform while you shop. Every weekend provides a different and wonderful treat -- not just with what new fresh goodie will be offered, but with what event, performer, demonstration, and experience is available to enjoy.
The only downside of the Matthews Farmers' Market is that dogs arent allowed, so be sure to leave your furry friends at home.

After the market, why not do a driving tour of the area to see what a lovely neighborhood Matthews is. If you would like any information on buying or selling a house, please contact us at www.onehometeamrealty.com.
