King Farmers' Market

King Farmers' Market has established itself as a community hub in King, North Carolina, connecting shoppers directly with the growers and makers behind their food.

Operating Tuesdays, June 16 - Oct 6, 2026, 9am-2pm, this market follows a regular schedule that shoppers can plan around.

Farmers markets like King Farmers' Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at King Farmers' Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many King residents to the market week after week.

The selection at King Farmers' Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

King Farmers' Market is committed to serving all members of the King community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across North Carolina have prioritized in recent years.

King Farmers' Market plays an important role in the King community by providing residents with a reliable source of fresh, locally produced food and a space for community connection.

King Farmers' Market accepts SNAP/EBT, ensuring that access to fresh, local food is not limited to those who can pay with cash or card.
