Always a beautiful place to busy and full of people. During late winter and early spring the colors are fantastic!

Most of the vendors are warm and happy to assist you! Today we ran into a particularly fantastic vendor at PERRY LOWE Orchards stand!! They were fantastic at explaining their cider!!! We bought two Apple Ciders cold Drinks, both were fantastic! We also bought some fantastic tasting PEACE BBQ Sause!! Also delicious!!

We loved our morning visit to the farmers market. Lots of fresh produce, indoor/outdoor plants and flowers. A few other stalls sprinkled in, all with kind folks working. The second building has more goods, if that’s what you’re looking for. Prices are typically higher at farmers markets, but the baked goods were overpriced ($7 for a scone), while the flavors were unique. Plant prices were a bargain relative to boutique shops.

This place is giga-packed on nice weather days, and the parking situation looks plentiful but you have to understand that this is one of the hottest attractions in the area if not the whole state, so there IS a chance you will not get in. Square footage-wise, 90% of the market is contained under one very busy roof. I wouldn't necessarily come here to just visit - it's more for people who actually need plants and vegetables or whatever.

If you're a local and know what you're going there for, then it's probably perfect. But this is not so much of a tourist attraction like other farmer's markets and you're going to regret it if you're visiting and stop by expecting a whole bunch of little shops to casually peruse like I did.

Great farmers market. If you are looking for fresh produce, this is the place. Plenary of parking.

First time at a Farmers Market, interesting place to purchase fresh produce, bread, and all kinds of home and personal gadgets -great prices. We ate at the seafood restaurant, the food was fresh, great variety of delicious sea food. Thank you! ♥️

Absolutely the best farmers market that I’ve ever visited. The produce was so fresh, reasonably priced, great selection and vendors are so helpful and friendly. The baked goods were calling my name and the flowers were stunning! If i lived locally, this would be a regular stop!

Such a beautiful state farmers market! A self-care spot! A fall artistic date place! It feels amazing to purchase goods grown locally by farmers who are talking with you in person, and to support them! In return, we get good quality food and knowledge of the fruits, veggies, shrubs, and more! A place to brighten my day!

The NC State Farmer's Market in Raleigh is hands-down one of my favorite places to visit in the fall. I lived in Raleigh for 15 years and visiting this place was one of the best things about living there. My advice is to make a day of it ... there is so much to see and do! You could start out with a good old-fashioned southern breakfast at the State Farmer's market restaurant, then head over to the open air market to look for pumpkins, mums, or any other fall produce or plants on your list. Then, walk across the way to check out the spices, specialty foods, and gifts in the covered building. By then, you might be ready for a little lunch ... maybe some BBQ or seafood? Both options are quite good. Then follow that up with a sweet treat from one of the bakery vendors. This place gets busy on the weekends, so arrive early and wear comfortable shoes ... you'll be doing a lot of walking!
