CARRBORO, NC -- On Saturday, July 13 the Carrboro Farmers’ Market celebrates the bounty of local tomatoes with its biggest annual event of the year - Tomato Day!
Open 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Carrboro Town Commons, 301 W. Main St., the Carrboro Farmers’ Market highlights the summer tomato season with samples of different varieties of locally-grown tomatoes, a huge Carrboro-wide raffle, samples of tomato dishes and recipes, limited-edition merchandise with this year’s event design, and much more.
From old favorites like Sun Gold, Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, and Big Beef, to lesser-known varieties like Black Krim, Chef’s Choice, Mountain Magic, Super Sweet 100, and Tomimaru Muchoo - farmers at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market grow over 70 different types of tomatoes. Tomato Day welcome stations at each of the Market’s entrances provide visitors with an opportunity to learn about local tomatoes, find their favorite tomatoes, and get information from Market staff and volunteers.
