About Us The Charlotte Tailgate Farmer’s Market was started to give local growers using organic practices an opportunity to participate in a tailgate farmers market and build relationships with members of the local Plaza-Midwood community. Our market strives to be a fun, educational, fresh marketplace for savvy urban shoppers who recognize the value of seasonal produce, flowers, and other farm goods. Currently there are few direct-to-consumer options available for backyard and small farms in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. Community agriculture and sustainability are gaining support, and are popular media topics, and a growing number of consumers want to have a relationship with the people who produce their food. Local food is better for the environment, for the local economy, for our health, and it just plain tastes better. What could be a better reason than that to buy local? We value the relationships that we are building with others in the community who are focused on sustainability issues. We are a relatively small market, but expect to grow while keeping focused on the goal of providing fresh, local, organically grown products to the residents of Plaza-Midwood and beyond. The Tailgate is closed for the official season, but we will reopen at our new location on April 26th in Historic South End! If you aren't already on our email list, send a request to info@charlottetailgatemarket.com and we'll keep you up to date on news and events.
