Getting Fresh Since 1996 The Cary Downtown Farmers Market began in 1996, when three small family farms wanted a place to sell their products directly to the community.  A strong community has developed at the market over the years.  The town of Cary has come to know and trust the farmers who make their food while sampling produce, learning about where and how the food is grown, and talking about recipes with other shoppers. The Cary Downtown Farmers Market has grown since those three farmers began, and now welcomes not only farmers but also artisans such as coffee roasters, bakers, and craftsmen.  Together, we share a passion for fresh and local products! Local Roots All of our growers must live and grow or raise their products within 100 miles of downtown Cary, North Carolina.  We like for our growers to focus on environmental best practices, using minimal fertilizers and chemicals, including no post-harvest chemicals.  They use responsible methods of raising meat animals, and near-organic methods of growing crops.  The only way to have fresher or healthier vegetables, fruits and meats is to grow them yourself!

For the 6th year, Fest in the West brings the fun to Western Cary in a free community festival. There is something for everyone to enjoy! The Festival is accessible to all and includes free parking adjacent to all of the fun. You will find two stages of entertainment featuring some of the best talent in the Triangle. Food trucks will be in three areas, meaning you won’t have to walk far for lunch or dinner. Our Beer Garden is centrally located. We have a FREE Kids Corral with activities for families, not to mention an adorable Petting Zoo. Come for the music, compete in a contest, and purchase unique items in the Village of Arts and Crafts. We are stroller and wheelchair-accessible, and most areas are flat and paved with parking close by.

DOWNTOWN CARY FOOD & FLEA was the brain child of several small business owners at the beginning of 2014. By the end of 2014 we were hosting over 30+ artists, craft makers, food trucks & musicians. Flash forward to 2020 and we hosted our last market before the world wide shut down, with 75 vendors! The Food & Flea brings some of the best artists from all over the state to the historic heart of downtown Cary. We are held on the 2nd Sundays of the month from 12p - 4p @ 100 W. Chatham St., on the corner of N. Academy St. & W. Chatham. Bring your family, friends, pets & appetite but most importantly bring your heart for small business. Our NC artists need your love more than ever as many lost thousands in revenue in 2020. Help us give them the giant leg up they need & let’s get back to communing with our neighbors!
