Matthews Community
FARMERS' MARKET
Local Folks, Local Farms, Local Food
Celebrating our 18th year
Open Year Round on North Trade Street in Historic Downtown Matthews, NC

  The Matthews Community Farmers' Market is the largest, most diverse producer-only farmers' market in the greater Charlotte area. Customers  buy food directly from local farmers - that's as fresh, tasty and nutritious as it gets.
All food and other market products are produced within 50 miles of Matthews. The market provides the community with locally raised foods as marketgoers help preserve the tradition of small farms in the area. Customers make a direct connection with the source of their food and get to know the person or farm family who grows it.
During our regular season market, enjoy cooking demonstrations by top local chefs, relaxing live music and farm craft presentations. You can even bring your culinary questions to our expertly staffed Ask-A-Chef table. Check out our special events schedule, which is always full of family-friendly activities.
   While we enjoy our canine friends, the fact remains that we are a food-based marketplace. For sanitary, health and safety reasons, we ask that you leave your dogs at home.  Guide dogs and dogs that provide services are welcome with their human handlers. Thank you!
