This year, the Davidson Farmers Market turns 15! We are excited to commemorate this milestone with our extended DFM community – you!
 

On May 3, 2008, the Davidson Farmers Market opened for the first time with eight founding vendors, several of whom are still with us. We have grown since then and this year we welcomed 38 vendors for the 2023 season. Their vibrant offerings bring an average of 2,000+ shoppers per Saturday, making downtown Davidson abuzz with activity and friendly faces. 

For the past 15 years, the Davidson Farmers Market has been a cornerstone of our town, connecting local farmers, producers and residents in a celebration of sustainable agriculture and community. Our growth and sustainability over the past 15 years would not have been possible without the generous support of the Town of Davidson, our founding board, sponsors, volunteers, and individual donors like you – thank you!

As we look ahead to the next 15 years, your continued support is vital in continuing our mission. 

By supporting the Davidson Farmers Market, you:

• Strengthen the local economy

• Preserve farmland and promote environmental sustainability

• Enhance food security and health

• Foster community connections

• Support our operations and make the market possible week after week
