Farmers Fresh Market is a virtual "Farmers Market" for local farmers. We are creating a sustainable food system linking growers, chefs and local distributors into a community of partners. Farmers Fresh Market's registered Buyer partners can access our website and place all of their orders online. Our Grower partners process the orders and we deliver direct to the Buyers.

At present, the Farmers Fresh Market is serving Producers and Buyers in the Rutherford County NC area and Charlotte NC areas. The Farmers Fresh Market's goal is to provide the best, freshest, most flavorful, naturally grown produce to chefs and produce buyers in our local area.

Rutherfordton North Carolina, established in 1787, is among the oldest towns in Western North Carolina and is the seat of the oldest continuous government in the region.  Steeped in history since the Revolutionary War, Rutherfordton NC has managed to keep its “old time” charm while progressing into the 21st  century.  From the cluster of antebellum houses in the historic district at the north end of Rutherfordton to the Foothills Connect Technology Center on the south end, this town spans centuries.

Downtown Rutherfordton is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district and is a beautiful representation of rural western North Carolina small towns. Situated on ridges, its elevations offer great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and its location in the Isothermal Belt means mild weather and outstanding beauty in four distinct seasons.
