The Clayton Farm & Community Market Opening Day 2013

Spring is here now, as the Clayton Farm & Community Market opens up for the season. The market is open on Saturdays from 9am-1pm and runs April through the last weekend in October. The market is held at Horne Square at the intersection of Lombard and Main in Downtown Clayton. This is the fifth year of the market and it has grown considerably in that time. There are local farms popping up all around Clayton and Johnston County as people realize that farmland is available at decent prices and is close to the big market of Raleigh. Some of the farms are 100% organic, others working on it, but the selection is definitely growing.

What can I buy at the Clayton Farmers Market?

Produce farms such as “In Good Heart Farm" where I bought Russian Kale “Let it Grow” farm owned by Michael and Caroline Lang,local honey from Shamrock’s Buzzy Bee from Four Oaks. Beautiful big herbs, tomato plants, hanging baskets and salad mix plants from Toad Song Farm in Archer Lodge. a new one for me was Creekside Farm in Selma who grow blueberries, I did not know blueberries were so good in salsa! Free range eggs from the Wood Family Farm in Benson who told me they will have grass fed beef later in the month. Organically raised chickens and eggs were on sale from Liberty Poultry who have a 300 acre farm in Zebulon that has been in their family for hundreds of years.  Clayton Farmers Market

Locally Grown Fruits and Vegetables From Farms Near Clayton

There are also baked goods, coffee, woodworkers and crafts available. This Saturday there was the mandatory bouncy house, the Clayton Police Dept had a police car and motorcycle and a Johnston County Ambulance was on display. A wonderful musical group was on hand who delighted some very young farm market attendees as you can see in the video. The Carolina Blue Sky was in full force as the first warm day of a late starting Spring for this part of North Carolina started off the Clayton Farm & Community Market. Farmers Markets in towns around Raleigh and the Triangle only survive with local support, so get out and buy some locally grown produce in Clayton’s Farmers Market.
