On July 27, 1985, a site had been acquired through donations and grants, designated for ownership to and operated by the volunteer Board of Directors of the market and there forth known as Piedmont Farmers’ Market, Inc. The purpose of the market was in part to encourage, promote and develop all phases of the fruit and vegetable industry. The market was open at that time on Tuesdays through Saturdays, 7:30 a.m.-Noon.

As demand for local food continues to rise, Piedmont Farmers Market strives to provide locations more convenient to our customers.  In doing so they meet another of their goals; to provide more opportunities for  farmers and local food producers to sell their products directly to the public.
