We've been out here a few times before, but always missed the Farmstand farmers market on Wednesday's 4-7. This week we finally made it! So glad we did because the freshly picked produce they had was gorgeous! And so very cost effective also (our whole basket shown was less than $16).
We're very excited to try the Tiger Melon we bought from them. And they had free samples of their passion fruit, which is different then the kind of passion fruit we normally see. It comes from their beautiful passionflower plant and was so delicious. The outside looks like a small green oblong ball, but it almost hollow. That's the husk that you pull off and inside are these semi gelatinous seeds that you eat. They taste like a tropical fruit and a banana had a baby and not nearly as slimy as I thought they'd be, because I don't like that kind of texture.
Overall, fantastic experience with the food, people and prices. We'll definitely be back often to see what other fun food goodies they have.

Visited the Raleigh City Farm a while ago for a volunteer project with my class and it was such a cool experience that I didn't know was in Raleigh until I looked it up. The people and ambiance really made the experience, and it was cool to lean more from those who were very experienced in the craft. I loved getting to volunteer with them through their unique events and definitely a fun activity for those who love to be outdoors

Raleigh City Farm is a gem in the Person Street neighborhood of downtown Raleigh. Its mission is to grow the next generation of farmers by connecting our community to sustainable agriculture. The produce is available for all community members to purchase at their weekly Farmstand from April-October, and produce is also donated to local non-profits who address food insecurity. Raleigh City Farm also offers great community programming, including workshops and events (they host an annual Bearthday event in April and annual Harvest Dinner in October). Raleigh City Farm is a great example of local, sustainable agriculture at work!
