The North Raleigh Farmer's Market is a year round market. That means we are open all four seasons; in the Spring production on farms start ramping up and our farmers are ready to bring you all they have to offer. Therefore the Grand Opening of the NRFM is May 1st to coincide with the Falls River Town Center's Spring Fling. Tomorrow, April 24Th, many farmers will be at the market with a great deal of wares for you to purchase, but there will be even more vendors May 1st. Our market after May 1st will be Saturdays, 8am until noon, and Wednesdays, 2pm until 6pm. Next week I will send out the official invitation for the Grand Opening. I will also ask you to share that information with your friends on Facebook and elsewhere. This will be essential for a large turnout to the Spring Fling and the North Raleigh Farmer's Market Grand Opening. Tomorrow come visit me at Falls River Books at Falls River Town Center, if you want to help promote the market.
Thanks,
Steven Elliot
