Ready to warm up your winter weekends? Mark your calendars for the Davidson County Winter Farmers Market on Saturday, January 18, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at 129 S. Railroad Street, Lexington, NC—a quick drive from the charming town of Kernersville. This seasonal market is a delightful way to embrace local flavors while supporting community farmers and artisans.

Fresh Finds Await

You can expect a cornucopia of fresh, locally sourced products at the Davidson County Winter Farmers Market. Vendors will showcase various seasonal produce, meats, eggs, pastries, jams, breads, and other baked goods. Each item sold at the market is crafted or grown by the vendors, ensuring that you’re not just buying food but investing in your community’s economy and sustainability.

Imagine strolling through rows of colorful stalls filled with vibrant vegetables and aromatic herbs. Picture yourself sampling freshly baked bread while chatting with the friendly faces behind the stalls. This market is not just a shopping trip; it’s an experience that connects you with the people who grow and make your food.

 

SNAP EBT Benefits

One of the standout features of this market is its commitment to accessibility. The Davidson County Winter Farmers Market accepts SNAP EBT cards, allowing you to stretch your food budget further. Through their ‘Double Your Dollars’ program, for every dollar you spend using SNAP benefits, you receive two tokens to spend on fresh produce and other eligible items—up to $20 per day. This initiative makes it easier for families to access nutritious food while also encouraging them to support local farmers.

Why Farmers Markets Matter

Farmers markets like this one do more than just provide fresh food; they foster community connections. They serve as gathering spots where neighbors meet up, share recipes, and engage in conversations about health and sustainability. By shopping at the market, you’re getting superior quality products and participating in a movement that values local agriculture and environmental responsibility.

A Community Affair

The Davidson County Winter Farmers Market is held at Bull City Ciderworks, a venue known for its lively atmosphere and community spirit. While you’re there, take a moment to enjoy the surroundings—perhaps sip on some cider or grab a snack from one of the local food trucks. The market is not just about shopping; it’s about enjoying a vibrant community atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

Engage With Local Artisans

In addition to fresh produce, you’ll find an assortment of handcrafted items from local artisans. From handmade soaps to unique crafts, these vendors add a personal touch you won’t find in big-box stores. Supporting these local creators helps keep the spirit of craftsmanship alive in our communities.

Join Us!

So why not make it a family outing? Bring your kids along to explore the market together. Let them pick out their favorite fruits or help choose ingredients for dinner. Engaging children in food selection can foster healthier eating habits and instill an appreciation for where their food comes from.

As you stroll through the market’s aisles filled with laughter and lively chatter, you’ll discover that this isn’t just about filling your pantry; it’s about building relationships with fellow community members and understanding the importance of supporting local agriculture.
