Abstract:
Since the founding of Raleigh, farmers have been bringing their products to market in the city; in the 1950s, the local government set up a larger facility for the City Market, which then grew to a larger facility in the 1990s. Interest in farmers markets has waxed and waned over the years, but the marketplace rituals share features from around the world.
