Wilkes County Farmers' Market

Wilkes County's oldest farmers market is open from late April through October at the Yadkin Valley Marketplace (842 CBD Loop) in Downtown North Wilkesboro. 

The Wilkes County Farmers' Market operates on Saturdays from 7:30 AM to Noon and Tuesdays, starting in June, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. The market boasts 20 plus vendors who sell locally grown and raised produce and meat, valued-added items like bread and cheese, and hand-made crafts. 

Often, musicians meet up at the market for an impromptu jam. It's truly a community gathering place and a source of pride for the county.

Vendors

The Market Manager reviews vendor applications and product(s) for acceptance to the Market. Priority is given to vendors who operate in Wilkes County, have seniority, offer a high percentage of locally produced food products, and add diversity to the overall product mix at the Market. The Market Manager reserves the right to limit the number of vendors for each product area to ensure a diverse and sustainable product mix based on space availability and the Market's priorities. 

Products include but are not limited to the following: Any vegetables grown from seeds, sets, or seedlings; any fruits, nuts, or berries grown from trees, bushes, or vines on the seller’s farm; any plant grown from seed, seedling, transplant, or cutting; honey; preserves, pickles, relishes, jams, and jellies; meat, seafood, and poultry products; cut or dried flowers; bulbs; and locally made arts and crafts.
