Elon Community Church Farmer's Market

Since 2007, the Elon University campus hosts a Local Farmer's Market. The market offers a friendly atmosphere for the community to shop for quality produce and other goods. The vendors at the market serve not only as sellers, but as friends that educate each other. They share tips on how to grow in their own garden, as well as how they, themselves, produce their goods.
