Waxhaw Farmers Market sets opening date at new location

The Waxhaw Farmer’s Market is having its opening day on April 4, 2009. The new market location is on the corner of Price Ave. and Church Street, behind Stewart's Village Gallery. The new location for the Waxhaw Farmers' Market has been graciously donated by Bill and Holly Stewart of Stewarts' Village Gallery for the Market to use. The Stewart’s say "they are looking forward to the new season with our new neighbors".

When asked about this years market, Mayor Daune Gardner said “I look forward to working with the Farmer’s Market this upcoming season in helping to support and promote the market because it is a vital part of what Waxhaw represents.” Mayor Gardner also expressed enthusiasm over the new President of the Waxhaw Farmer’s Market, Denise Kuntz “Denise has been a really strong component of our community, local farming and local foods in the community and having her involved in the Farmer’s Market will insure it’s continued success”.

The market runs from April through November and serves the citizens of Waxhaw, Weddington, Marvin and the surrounding communities. Customers come from Charlotte for many of the unique and delicious items available. The hours will remain the same, from 9 am till 1 pm on Saturdays and on Tuesdays from 3 pm to 6 pm.

The market features naturally grown local produce, cut flowers, vegetable and flower plants, goat cheese, fresh farm eggs, herbs, local honey, fresh baked bread, cakes, cookies, muffins, granola bars, homemade dog treats, homemade goat milk soap, and so much more!
