You'll find something for sure by one if the artisans. I found a wonderful kind woman selling handmade soaps and candles. I bought about 4-5 of them and they smell so wonderful. The river walk is beautiful in general but having a small marker to browse every now and then it's a nice perk. I wish there were more produce related vendors but I'll say that it was this market that introduced me to several other small businesses in the area which I now return to for various things I need.

Went to this farmers market in downtown Wilmington to meet up with a friend and her kids. It's…read moresmall but they good selection of things to eat and buy here. The kids were excited to buy pretzels and smoothies. I haven't seen my friend for 10 years, so I was too busy catching up with her to take pictures LOL. I saw a couple of vendors selling pet related goods like dog snacks and neckwear. Dogs are allowed at this market and we saw at least 2 dogs at any given time. All of them well-handled by their owners. Saw the usual farmers market items like strawberries, blueberries, sweet potatoes, lettuce, and other produce. There were also a few stands selling cut flowers and/or live plants. I took a picture of some pepper plants that someone was selling bc they are so colorful! My favorite stand was Orchidscapes. The owner showed us several species of orchids that smelled like different things - one raspberry, another like root beer, and my favorite- the one that smelled like chocolate. I eventually bought one of the latter. He gave me a card sheet and his card in case I have questions when I get him (I named my plant Charlie) home. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area. There is garage parking available as well as street parking. Bring cash, as the vendors that we purchased from did not accept credit cards. I knocked it down a star for this reason.

It's the only market that validates that all the vendors make or grow their own stuff so that means no MLM business or resellers. Wonderful produce, herbal stuff, honey, kombucha and what you can't get at the market you can get at the co-op. Dog friendly too!

The vendors had already doubled in number when i was there last week, and they just started it in May i think. Plus the co-op is right next to it, if you need something else. I hope this town supports it. I miss the farmers markets in California and Durham. These folks have a nice wooden, covered seating area in the middle. I like to grab some field raised sausage for biscuits and gravy, and the wife fills her cambucha growler. His stuff.

I was looking for a place for my daughter to get the energy out and, with good reviews, headed toward Riverwalk Park. It just so happened to be their Christmas market and fair - with face painting, vendors, special treats and games. My little one could have cared less about the aforementioned happenings. She cares about playgrounds and this park had one of the best we've seen. It was crawling with kids, so even better for entertainment! She played for hours. There was plenty of space, nooks and crannies for kids to run and do their own thing. The equipment all looked in good repair and the park was very clean. Everything is surrounded by mature trees so the playground was shaded during our visit. As lunch approached, we walked over to the water for some calm & relaxation. There are a couple of boat ramps, though I believe I was there at low-tide as one looked inaccessible. There were also a couple of swings to sit and look out over the water. I noted a walking trail as we were leaving and would certainly return to see the rest of the park. I was very impressed with my first visit here.

I could (and have already) spent hours on end getting lost in the loaded aisles gazing over their unique finds. The 1st visit was a week day and I didn't have but 30 minutes to scavenge for a couple new home necessities. I ended up leaving with a rustic, full size, hand made American Flag and a 1971 Pillsbury dough boy toy for a family member who grew up loving the dough boy. The flag was marked at $25 but the owner gave both to me for $20 - he works with you consistently on giving great deals. The 2nd visit was a Saturday for their "flea market" style layout. Every weekend from 9 - 5 they bring one of the aisles of things out under a tent so you're able to view even more things both inside and out - you may have heard this event called the "Old Dairy Flea Market." I came for a dresser and left with a dresser, bedside table, vintage black military bin, plant table, 1970's hand crafted pottery lamp, and queen bed frame set all for $120. All in great shape and blend perfectly together in my new room. I am so thankful to have stumbled upon this place as it's definitely the best bang for your buck here in town when it comes to high quality vintage goods on a budget. The owners hearts are as big as their smiles and I can't wait to come back and see what more they collect. Anyone and everyone should check out this local business!

Who out there likes Christmas? What if I said you could experience Christmas-like joy every…read moreWednesday? We found out you can, right here in Wilmington, by signing up for a new local produce delivery service called The Produce Box. We signed up after skyrocketing bills at Tidal Creek had us reevaluating our grocery budget. Our friends in Raleigh have been doing this for a while and I guess it is a service catching on across the country....glad to see something as cool as this in Wilmington. What is it, you ask? $22 a week and you get a good size box of locally grown, farm fresh produce to your DOOR. Yes, right to your front step. Essentially, its the same stuff at the local farmers market, but delivered. We are simply amazed and excited each week when our box comes...to top it off, they throw in samples of maple butter, bbq, honey, etc and you get a friendly note from farmers and produce box coordinators with recipes and what is going on in their world. Financially, we did the math and you'd have to atleast spend $40-50 a week depending on the produce for the same price. Buying direct from farmers really does make sense.... Nothing we've done so far in Wilmington has made us feel so connected to the community as a whole. No subscription, cancel anytime and if you are on vacation you just login and "skip a week" Real easy. After doing this for about 6 weeks, we've seen our grocery budget get back to normal (probably less) and you really feel like you are part of something special going on.... Here are the boxes for this week (they change each week depending on what is in season and what is fresh) - and, they offer "stock up" options like if you want some cucumbers for pickling. Just check out the site, you'll see.... Box A 6 ears of corn Blueberries(one pint) 3-4 red tomatoes Sweet Potatoes or New Potatoes Cucumbers Squash/zucchini Box B 6 ears of corn Blueberries 2-3 red tomatoes 1-2 Green tomatoes Squash Variety: includes papaya squash, regular and golden zucchini Cucumbers Box C (FARMERS CHOICE BOX) 6 ears of corn Blueberries Beans (either green beans, was or pole beans) The rest is FARM choice....

I am like a little kid waiting for my box full of fresh goodness to arrive every week. I've never had anything bad. If it's something I don't like, I simply trade it like lunch with a coworker! I made apple pie last week from the apples and OMG it was amazing!!! I'm a pie baker and in my 20 years of baking, I've never had better quality apples. The squash was incredible, I've made ravioli and bisque that rivals anything you'll find in a restaurant. Plus the "samples" new stuff that you get to try for free! As a fruit and veggie lover, the Produce Box is a great value, high quality and nutritionally top notch! Sign up, you won't regret it!
