Browse a market, then choose your treats

The State Farmers Market has free parking and separately priced purchases. Raleigh City Farm’s seasonal farmstand uses pay-what-you-can pricing; check its published season before making a trip.

Find a table for different tastes

Morgan Street and Transfer Co. food halls bring independent vendors together. Each business sets its own prices and hours. NOFO pairs a café with a shop in Five Points; check meal service before arriving.

Before you go

Does free market entry include food?

No. Free entry means there is no admission charge. Produce, meals, drinks and other purchases cost extra unless explicitly stated.

Can we count on every food-hall vendor being open?

No. Vendor hours can differ from the hall’s opening hours. Check the business you want to visit.
