I love all the small towns around where we live. There are small businesses of every kind that we can and do patronize. Every small town has a farmer's market on the weekend and we have visited 4 of them in the past few weeks. The best part of the day on Saturday is just before the sun comes up when it is still cool and quiet...except for the birds. They are very noisy at this time of the year.
The farmer's market in Carrboro is on the town commons. The commons sits right behind the town hall and the fire station.
There are many murals painted on buildings around town. This one was new to me. It is on the side of the fire station. Up close it looks so realistic.
This is one of my new favorites. I love the bees and the flowers. I wonder if it was chosen for this spot because of the market.
In addition to the wonderful fruits and vegetables and homemade cheeses and baked goods, you can find that many of the farmers sell bundle of wild flowers at their booths.
Each bouquet is unique. Right now sunflowers are in many of the bouquets due to their abundance. A few weeks ago it was peonies. For my money, this is the best way to spend an early Saturday morning. Talk to you soon.
