Our 2011 Special Events calendar tells about many of the tastings and cooking demos scheduled for this season. These events are held at Carrboro Farmers' Market.

Our Chef Event highlighted chefs who shop at the Farmers' Market and invited our customers to taste the wonderful food from local farms prepared as tasty dishes by locally owned restaurants!
The series takes place at least once a month at a Wednesday afternoon market and focuses on a familiar, seasonally available ingredient. The Culinary Series has three key components: cooking, teaching and tasting. The tasting showcases how, when handled and prepared properly or with a little imagination, these common ingredients can be totally fabulous! Top regional chefs are encouraged to be imaginative about how to use the ingredient – from appetizers and soups to desserts – as well as to teach good handling and preparation techniques.
The Carrboro Farmers' Market hosted their annual Seasonal Craft and Gift Market to celebrate the holiday season on December 11th. Local farmers, artisans, and crafters displayed specialty Christmas crafts and gifts in the Gazebo area of the Market, with live music and free hot chocolate!
