Amazing fresh produce, great variety - Edit
This is a must do if you love to enjoy local farm produce. The variety of fruits, vegetables and much more were fantastic. The main area is a large tented structure (open walls, just covered with a tent-like roof). There is also an indoor building on the property where more non-produce things are sold, like bakery items, jams, knickknacks, etc. All in all, very fun to visit the Farmers Market. Highly recommend.

Okay not great - Edit
It’s not what I expected. It’s okay but not worth the trip for me.

certain vendors rock! - Edit
The salsa vendor and bread vendor ALWAYS have vegan options. Also, fresh local veggies rock! Wouldn't suggest the restaurant though.

Time to enclose structure! - Edit
I've been in Raleigh for almost 9 years and can't believe we don't have monies to enclose the open market, at least in the winter months. The summer could use some covering and a/c as well, moreso for the food. I've brought watermelons that looked good but spoiled in the summer heat. And what is it with smoking farmers, conflicts with the image of a farmers' market in my opinion. Off to Harris Teeter or Whole Foods, nutrient level higher in refrigerated structures and can get organic local foods too.

Cons: heat causes spoilage of food, smokers
