Farmers Market season is already upon us.

It’s time to buy local strawberries, , eggs, honey, and many different kinds of local produce. Some markets will feature farmers who have vegetable transplants and other plants for sale.

Davie County is fortunate to have three farmers markets open Spring to Fall. Each has its own unique blend of farmers and other vendors.

• The Bermuda Run Farmers Market is open on Fridays from 3:30-6:30 p.m. at 190 NC 801 S. The market accepts vouchers for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP).
