Stokes County Farmers market


With the rising costs of food and transportation, it is more important than ever to support our local farmers and take advantage of the wide variety of fresh and healthy foodstuffs they provide. The market is moving to the Stokes YMCA starting today!

King Farmers Market has a new home

The King Farmers Market opens for the season today in a new location, outside at the Stokes County YMCA.

The market will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays through October.

The market was at the American Legion Post on the Stokes County Fairgrounds.

The move should give the market more opportunities because of the YMCA's large customer base, said Randy Fulk, a Stokes County extension agent.

The Stokes Family YMCA is at 105 Moore Road in King.

For information, call the YMCA at (336) 985-9622 or the Stokes office of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service at (336) 593-8179
