Slow Food Charlotte Online

Supporting food that is Good, Clean & Fair.

Regional Farm's and Markets

Support Your Local Farmers

(by making sure they’re both local and farmers)

Guess what, a lot of the vendors at some Charlotte Area Farmers Markets are NOT real farmers. Gadzooks! We’re being duped. Now if you’re driving all the way to a Farmers Market to buy fruits and vegetables from California, Florida, Mexico or Chile well this information will be of little use to you.

If you think you’re buying from a local farmer you may want to make sure. Start with the folks on this list and you will be glad you did.

If you know a local farmer or market whose name isn’t on our list, send us their names and contact information, we’d love to get to know them. Buy local, it matters.

products: Naturally grown, chemical free Herb Plants
Mills Garden Herb Farm is in rural Iredell County. Plants are started in a greenhouse but hardened off outside so customers buy plants that are acclimated to the weather. Only natural fertilizers are used and plants are never sprayed with pesticides. I love to work with the plants and learn how to use them and share this knowledge with others. I want everyone to experience the joy that I do from these plants.
