A Durham institution! Vendors include local creameries (Boxcarr, Celebrity Dairy, Chapel Hill Creamery), myriad farms (Harland Creek is my fave), Mead and Cider purveyors, fresh flowers, and delicious local and organic meats, poultry, and eggs (be sure to check out Fickle Creek Farm for odd cuts). Open Wednesday from 3pm-6pm and Saturday mornings from 8am-noon.

Good for quick eats before a show at Motorco, but people also love the patio and beergarden area in the spring/fall/summer for group hangs. Highly recommend the banh mi and udon salad.
