The Market is located at 4684 NC Hwy 42E, Clayton, NC 27520 Phone 919-550-0765

It is just down the road from Downtown Clayton, Archer Lodge at the intersection of Buffalo Rd and Hwy 42.

They make the desserts there and you can call and order your favourite cake or pie.

Outside they have a wide array of plants and shrubs, rose bushes.

Pine straw and wheat straw along with bedding plants and tomato plants for the gardener.

Don't forget fishing worms which I can attest work very well, too well actually as we bought some on Monday and went to the pond at Portofino and while fixing Rory's rod I heard a splash and to my horror my rod was in the pond and as I reached in to grab it it took off like a rocket.

The moral of the story when you buy your worms from The Village Farmers Market don't leave your rod unattended!

Archer Lodge, North Carolina set to become a Town.

Archer Lodge, North Carolina set to become a Town.

The community of Archer Lodge in North Carolina is one step away from incorporating. Voters will decide on November 3rd whether they would like to live in the town of Archer Lodge or not. If approved the town would cover approximately nine square miles and have about 3000 residents.
The property owners of Archer Lodge would face an 8-cent tax per $100 value of their property, roughly $80 on a house valued at $100,000. Services likely would include police protection, water and land use planning and zoning and of course fire protection which is in the very capable hands of The Archer Lodge Fire Department.

With the larger towns of Clayton and Wendell, some residents saw the writing on the wall as these towns pushed their extraterritorial jurisdiction closer and closer and eventually the community could be swallowed up by the growth.

Archer Lodge is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Raleigh and about 40 minutes from Raleigh Durham International Airport. It is made up of farmland and small subdivisions. The new Archer Lodge Middle school was just recently built.It has a great community center which organizes all sorts of activities for local school children, soccer, t-ball, baseball, etc.
It also has the best Fourth of July celebration with a great parade and fireworks, which draws people from all over to watch.

Maybe now people will stop calling it Archers Lodge

So what do you think? Town or no Town, send me an e-mail and let me know.
