Market Farming

["Patrick Mulkey" <Mulkey AT tunl.duke.edu>]

Carrboro Farmers Market where I sell has been hosting a taste test for 3-4
years now. The tomatoes come from us vendors which are grown by us within 50
miles of Carrboro, NC. Here are the results from last year. We also have a
melon tasting later in the summer. I invite you to look at our market
website to see some of the other events we do. www.carrborofarmersmarket.com
