The Kerr Village Farmers Market offers an array of organic produce, as well as conventionally raised items from growers within a 100-mile radius. Local production translates into a shorter travel distance, and less transit time has a direct impact on freshness, appearance, taste and nutritive values. The environment also benefits since packaging and emissions from transport vehicles are reduced. Featured Farmers:
