One of four regional state farmers markets, the State Farmers Market in Raleigh is a go-to spot for a multitude of goods.
The Market Shoppes, located fully indoors in a climate-controlled building, doles out fresh produce and vegetables all year from the comfort of a 15,600 square-foot building. You'll also find quaint shops in here that sell specialty items like old-fashioned candies, gifts, soaps, lotions, and more.
If you want garden decor and unique architectural elements to go WITH the flowers from the Farmers Building, you'll need to head across the parking lot to the Market Imports Building. Here, you'll find everything garden related including fountains, pots, water features, furniture, ironwork, stone, teak, pottery, and more!
Don't live in Raleigh? No problem! The market is conveniently located near to Interstate 40 and with ample lodging nearby if you want to spend the night!
