| Local food tastes better. Get yours at The Tailgate. |  |
The Tailgate season is experiencing the bounty of summer! Join us for a tomato tasting on Tuesday, July 22nd. My very favorite annual event. We are growing into our new home at the corner of Camden Road and West Park Avenue with more variety, more vendors, and more opportunities to serve you. Market hours are Saturdays 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and Tuesdays 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Though we have a new home and a slightly more gussied-up presentation, we are still the only local food farmers market in Charlotte. We are still 100% fresh, fun, and funky. And we will always strive to showcase and serve the growers and producers who make this market possible. Check back for more events including music, cooking demonstrations, and other fun activities! The Tailgate is an urban farmers market committed to local food and local farms. That will never change. Look forward to, when available and in season: - Vegetables and some fruits.
- Plants, herbs, and flowers, including orchids!
- Eggs. Fresh, free range. Sooo pretty. Every one is different.
- Pastured pork products, and grass fed beef and lamb.
- Dairy - new this year!
- Baked goods and chocolate truffles. Yum!
- Honey! Local beekeepers are sharing the bounty, and providing an education.
- Prepared foods made with local ingredients.
- Soap, candles, jewelry, and other hand-crafted items.
- Lots of practical menu ideas and fanciful suggestions.
- Friends, neighbors, and pets of all varieties.
You won't find resellers, chemicals, or pesticides here. Only local growers and producers, committed to sustainable agriculture and educated consumers. Sign up for our bi-weekly e-mail newsletter. This is an especially good idea because the Tuesday market and the Saturday market are somewhat different. The newsletter will let you know who and what to expect! We're actively looking for local growers and artisans, so if you or someone you know might be interested in vending, then put us in touch without delay!
