    Greensboro Farmers Curb Market Announces March/April Local Foods Events

    Greensboro, NC– Greensboro Farmers Curb Market (GFM, 501 Yanceyville Street) is seeing signs of Spring in the Market — with the arrival of tender spring produce including salad greens, kale, arugula, mustard greens, spinach, bok choy, radishes, herbs, spring onions, green garlic, tender spring chicken and other pasture-raised meats, and vegetable starters for the garden.  “One may only think of the farmers market for its summer bounty like corn, tomatoes and watermelon; but we also want to invite the larger community to discover their local Market offers a year-round hub of locally- sourced food from 100 miles (or less) from Greensboro,” notes the GFM Executive Director/Market Manager Lee Mortensen.    Every week customers shop for staples: pastured-meats, eggs, local dairy, breads, mushrooms, flowers, root vegetables and more. We want customers to stop and take note that new spring produce is arriving now. With a nod to the change of seasons, the Market is also ramping up educational programs with free weekly tastings and cooking demonstrations, community breakfast fundraisers, and the return of Mid-Week Wednesday Market.
