in season Winter Farmers’ Market gets started The Carrboro Farmers’ Market re-opened last week, starting the first winter season in style with the cooperation of the weather and strong interest from market regulars. Winter vegetables were on hand, including purple cauliflower, sweet potatoes and cabbage. Most kinds of meats were plentiful as were a va- riety of cheeses from Celebrity Dairy and Cha- pel Hill Creamery. More than a dozen vendors showed up and new market manager Sarah Blacklin said sev- eral farmers had stopped by to see what kind of turnout they might expect should they decide to set up a booth in the weeks ahead. Blacklin, who took over as market manager over the holidays, said the response was so good that some farmers are considering open- ing up additional hoop houses to accommo- date demand. Winter hours at the market are 9 a.m. to noon — rain, snow or shine. The market re- turns to its normal operating hours of 7 a.m. to noon on March 15.
