Abstract:

At one time farmers' markets in towns across the nation supplied their communities' seasonal food needs. These markets slowly disappeared with the emergence of agribusiness and supermarkets. In the Research Triangle Metropolitan Area they are returning. The Carrboro Farmers Market opened in 1979; in 1991, the State Farmers Market moved to a larger building; and in 1999, the Durham Farmers Market opened.
