Uptown Farmers Market

Uptown Farmers Market is a nonprofit community organization with a Saturday site at 300 S Davidson Street. Its stated mission combines three goals: making locally grown fresh food available, supporting farmers and artisans, and addressing food insecurity. The venue is in the front parking lot of First Baptist Charlotte, one of its sponsors, and the organization lists free parking during market hours.

The 2026 season is divided into two periods. The winter market runs Saturdays from January 10 through March 14, 10 a.m. to noon; the spring market runs April 11 through December 12, 8 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Its “Who’s at the Market” directory identifies sellers who may offer farm produce, bread, meat, eggs, plants, baked goods, and artisan food. The lineup and attendance change, so review the current week’s list.

The organization publishes information about SNAP/EBT, Radish Roots tokens, and vouchers for older adults. It also invites shoppers to buy surplus fruit and vegetables for donation: the community fund purchases remaining goods from farms and delivers them to local organizations through Harvest Haul. These services have their own rules and are not a general discount for all shoppers. Google reviews commonly value the range of stalls and welcoming atmosphere; its compact size can make it quicker to browse than the regional market, though hours are shorter.
