WARMER WELCOME FOR THE FARMERS MARKET

Saturday’s Edenton farmers market was a samplers delight.  

Edenton Farmers Market President Mary Wolf is a culinary sourcer constantly searching for new products to introduce to the community. One of the most popular new additions to the market is prepared foods to go in the refrigerated cases inside the market.

Recently, the Inner Banks Inn has expanded its culinary reach and is now offering prepared meals to go at the market. Take note, they sell out quickly.  

The take away provisions are partly due to the creativity of new Inner Banjks Chef Amanda Adams.  

Adams joined the Inn as Executive Chef in August of 2025 to orchestrate the culinary adventure The Table offers guests and locals on Friday and Saturday evenings.  

Adams, is from Macon, Georgia and has continually heightened her culinary abilities working in high end kitchens in Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, West Virginia and Kentucky.  

Her past travels have added to her palate’s portfolio and she reguarly shares those flavors with guests. She is now offering those flavors at the market.  

“You know, we do things like shepherd's pie, chili. I like to go down the vegan route because there's not many vegan options around here,” Amanda added.“People going to the farmer's market are looking for fresh produce, fresh fruit, fresh meats so I really like to incorporate that farm to table. Containers can feed up to four people. We are also doing braised short ribs. We will have sampling each Saturday at the market so that guests can try some of our items.”

Aside from The Table, there are other selections of prepared foods from area artisans.  

Edentonians and market goers are fortunate to still have locally fresh lettuce available on Saturday’s along with tastefully prepared foods to go. Let's not forget the terrific baked goods available at the market every Saturday.
