Western Wake Farmers Market is pleased to announce that yesterday we completed the acquisition of Farmers' Collective in Raleigh. Farmers Collective is a small distributor of locally grown food, buying from area farmers, and reselling to the who's who of independent restaurants in the Triangle. FC also operates a small, CSA-like box business. We will continue to operate Farmers Collective as-is effective immediately. FC will be our launching pad for the box business we've been planning since we won a 2018 Rural Advancement Foundation International - RAFI grant to get that project off the ground. Stay tuned for exciting developments! www.farmerscollectivenc.com

New and sustainable farmers serving chefs and residents a fare exchange of farm produce, proteins, coffees, beer, wine & more, via wholesale delivery, farmshare subscriptions & retail shop(coming soon)!For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a farm, regardless of what Lowes grocery tries to tell you. Anticipating what may come next, we can safely say it is not a farmers market, either. Thanks for sharing, Fickle Creek Farm.

Food developers love thinking about what "it" flavor is going to pop this year, or which vegetable will replace kale and cauliflower. But there are generally bigger, longer-term societal macro changes that drive these things.
