Farmers market for North Raleigh?
The Wake County Cooperative Extension is currently looking into whether there's public interest in a farmers market in the North Raleigh area at Creedmoor and Norwood roads (click here for a map). Folks who'd like to weigh in on the plan are asked to take a moment to participate in a feasibility survey, which is online here.Raleigh currently has the state-run Raleigh Farmers Market off Lake Wheeler Road, a facility that's open daily year-round (click here for a map). There's also a seasonal farmers market that takes place in downtown Raleigh's Moore Square on Wednesdays. The Moore Square Farmers Market will kick off its 2009 season on Wednesday, April 15 and will be open every Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. through August.

Where exactly will this market be at that intersection and what size? The survey attached to this article assumes that if you participate in the survey you would like a Farmers market at that location. How are you to know if someone is opposed?
Anonymous, yours sound like questions for Wake County Cooperative Extension. You can find their contact information online here.
I would LOVE a farmer's market that close, it would be a lot easier than heading to NC State market!
I would love to have a farmer's market in this area.
I think the Farmer's Market is proposed for the intersection of Creedmoor and Norwood.
I would love a Farmers Market produce stand in North Raleigh!!

The Community Farmer's Market at Falls River Town Center has been approved by the North Carolina Extension. Now the hard work begins. Tentative date for the first market day is May 2, 2009.
Thank you,
