Farmers Market Board President Mary Wolfe was hush hush about it, but Saturday, Farmers Market Appreciation Day was also Wolfe's birthday. Some party..you could say Wolfe's presents were abundant due to her constant presence as the president.
The Edenton Farmers Market is as much of a draw as the other icons that grace the town and heighten its posture on the national stage.
In addition to vendors selling fresh, local produce, meats, baked goods, and other good things to enjoy there was a full slate of artisans selling their locally hand-made items.
The reason for this and other market successes can be directly attributed to the diligence, focus and hard work Wolfe and the market board and volunteers contribute.
A centerpiece of the event was th celebration of the Edenton Farmers Market’s new pavilions. As a nonprofit, volunteer organization, the Edenton Farmer’s Market was able to build the pavilions through community donations. Pavilion Supporter Plaques were unveiled at 10:00 am, with the help of the Edenton Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Edenton, recognizing the entire community.
“The new pavilion construction marks an incredible transformation—what began as rocks and dirt with a little grass has now become a beautiful, inviting space featuring fresh lush sod in the yard, concrete pads under the pavilions, and refreshed gravel in the drive," said Wolfe. "Once an uncovered area, it now showcases stunning cedar pavilions, a true reflection of progress, collaboration, and community pride.”
Plaques recognizing individual and corporate donors will be placed on columns, and Flint Harding, Jr. donated a pavilion in memory of his beloved wife, Janet Harding. The pavilions along Gale Street have been named the Community Pavilions to recognize everyone who donated to make the project possible.
“We extend our sincere appreciation for your steadfast support and warmly encourage you to invite your friends and family to share in this special celebration," said Wolfe, appreciatively.
