2. Olde Beaufort Farmers Market
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
This is an outdoor rain or shine market which gathers under the old live oaks on the courthouse square in the center of Beaufort on Saturday mornings from 8:30 until 1:00. Farmers and fishermen gather under tents filled with fresh, locally grown vegetables, farm-raised meats, eggs, honey and other homegrown products. Bakers share golden, delicious baked goods: croissants, morning buns, tomato pies, cupcakes, quiches, and cookies to name a few. Fishermen offer fresh, locally caught shrimp, fish, crabs, and other seafood. And, artists and craftspeople fill their tents with handmade work from their studios, available for all who appreciate quality, unique creations. Local musicians provide entertainment to those who stop to linger with breakfast or lunch from our weekly food truck, and local non-profit organizations share their work with the public. There's even a Kids' Program with art and other activities for the younger set. Be sure to include the OBFM in your trip to Beaufort.

While family and friends were out at sea participating in a fishing tournament in neighboring Morehead City, I decided to venture across the bridge and explore Beaufort's Farmers Market in search of gifts for upcoming Mother's Day. Not only did I find incredible gifts for all the mothers in my life -- ranging from colorful pottery to freshly roasted coffee beans to homemade cosmetics -- I came away with much more than a few delightful presents. I was struck by the energy of the Beaufort community. The market was bustling with people of all ages -- some who had just finished up a yoga class on the adjacent lawn. I enjoyed talking with the vendors, artists, local growers, bakers and craftspeople as they spoke with passion about their businesses. I even got to shake hands with the Mayor who had just come from a ribbon cutting ceremony for the town's new bridge.The market was ideally located in the heart of town next to the Courthouse. Congrats to the people of Beaufort for doing a great job revitalizing a historic foundation of their community and making it a vibrant part of today’s culture. Although from out of town, I truly was made to feel at home. My only regret was how quickly the morning flew by -- I realized with a jolt at 12:45 pm that I only had 15 minutes left to buy a couple more presents before the 1 pm closing time!

We have been frequenting Mott's Channel Seafood for years. It's known by locals as THE best place to get freshest and widest selection of great fish,alongside the best tasting and looking fresh shrimp I have found, (one of our favorite things to do is after being on the boat or beach is planning a simple meal of shrimp & grits w/ fresh vegetables , all found at Mott's Channel. Of course, there is also available the incredible home made key lime pie as a treat! The grits packages are all-inclusive, no need to add ingredients, thus healthier for you. Plus it's simple to make. Their fresh corn, local vegetables available are there for the taking. The staff is always helpful about which is best for how you want to cook, they are very knowledgeable -- their boats come in and out daily here, docked right by the seafood shop. Drive right up, no parking problems , look for it near the marinas along the water between between Banks Channel & the I.C.W. A must go-to spot for fresh-catch.

The New Bern Farmers' Market is a small market but there are a variety of vendors. There were just a few produce stands while I was there but I expect there will be more in the coming weeks. It is a nice place to browse and find some local items.
