Join Chef de Cuisine John Matthews
 at the Matthews Farmers Market

Saturday, August 2nd
8:30 AM

The Matthews Community Farmers' Market is the largest and most diverse growers-only farmers' market in the greater Charlotte area. Customers  buy food directly from local farmers - that's as fresh, tasty and nutritious as it gets. The market provides the community with locally raised foods and, in turn, market goers help preserve the tradition of small farms in the area.
