Background & Mission

Over the past year, the market has grown from being the dream of one student, Eric Ballard, 2009 Alumnus, to becoming a campus reality. The Campus Farmers Market was created through Student Government’s Sustainability Commission. On April 22, 2009, the market had its first day in the Brickyard. A success, the Fall session of the Campus Farmers Market will be held every Wednesday each Fall and Spring semester, 12 weeks per semester.

The Campus Farmers Market, run by Students advised by an Advisor Board, provides a weekly service to the faculty, staff and students of NC State, as well as the surrounding communities. All North Carolina products, the market further serves NC State’s responsibility as a land-grant university, supporting North Carolina agriculture and helping to enhance our local economy by fostering direct farmer-to-consumer interaction. In addition to promoting these interactions, the presence of an educational booth run by the market’s Student Board will provide an additional educational opportunity at the university.
