Upcoming events at the Farmer's Market

November 17- Super Saturday! Don’t miss this one!

We are so very exited to welcome once again, as the highlight of our market season, Kinston's own, PBS A Chef's Life star and co owner of the Chef and the Farmer restaurant, the Boiler Room, Wilmington's Benny's Big Time and the forthcoming Handy and Hot in Kinston. Needless to say, Vivian is a very busy person, but still takes time to honor our market, and its vendors by giving a cooking demo and sampling to their customers on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Her sister, Leraine Tolston, also a busy lady, and owner of Queen Street Deli, adds her talent to do the same. Who knows what deliciousness these two will create and serve as samples. Demo begins about 11 o'clock.

We are also privileged to have the Southern Sugar Bakery girls, former Miss Kinston, Angie Daniels Tucker and Christin Kubasco will be with us with their holiday themed decorated cookies and a decorting demo beginning at 10 o'clock.

There will be more to this story as our Super Saturday approaches. It will be a very fun day !!! Stay tuned for updates!

Chloe Albritton will have her delicious French bread which she will have available for a donation to to fund a mission trip to Costa Rico this summer. Ruth Anderson and her KHS and LCC Early College students will prepare baked goodies which can be had for a donation to their summer trip.
