Farmers' Markets
Previously on CityBeautiful21 I talked about Informal Markets -- events
that are marked by an agreed-upon time and place to sell and buy goods,
but may lack features of a permanent retail establishment. When I think
about the things that the town of Carrboro has going for it, our talent
for finding room for Informal Markets is near the top of the list.
When I began researching this post, I was not surprised to find that
Carrboro has been finding a place for Informal Markets in the community
for over 35 years.
Like Krakow, Carrboro has nurtured an informal
market into a formal one in the heart of the community- the Carrboro
Farmers' Market. On their website, the Farmers' Market even refers to
itself as a previously informal market!
