Local residents have the opportunity to purchase freshly grown Vance County produce at two locations twice a week with the opening of the YMCA Farmer's Market  and the Vance County Farmer's Market .

The YMCA hours are from on Wednesdays from 8 a.m.-12 noon, located at the walking track behind the Y.  It is sponsored by Cooperative Extension, the Y and Maria Parham Medical Center to promote healthy eating and support of local farmers.

The Vance County Farmer's Market is open on Saturdays from 7 a.m.-11 a.m. and is located at the intersection of Williams and Arch Streets near downtown Henderson.  This market has been in operation for approximately 28 years, serving locally grown vegetables and other farm products.

For more information on how to become involved with these two markets and a list of the rules, stop by the one of the markets or call Wayne Rowland, Agricultural and Natural Resource Technician with North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Vance County Center, (252) 438-8188.
