State Farmers Market

Find items like honey, pickled vegetables, jams, and more in the open-air pavilion of the Farmers Market and in the Market Shoppes.

Weaver Street Market

Carrboro-based Weaver Street Market, now with a location in downtown Raleigh, focuses on natural foods from small farms and food purveyors, many of which are based in North Carolina. Their house-made hummus is a perfect pairing with crackers from the Accidental Baker out of Hillsborough. Also grab a jar of Chapel Hill-made Cottage Lane Kitchen relishes and hot sauce to elevate meats and dressings.
