The Pittsboro Farmers Market was founded in 1997 as a collaborative effort between local farmers, the Chatham County Cooperative Extension Service, the Chatham County Fair, and local residents.

The PFM is a producer-only market — vendors may sell only the items they grow or produce within a 50-mile radius of the market. This ensures fresh local offerings for our customers. Growers in the Chatham county area are able to offer seasonal products year-round.

The market currently accepts SNAP and provides a self-funded double bucks program matching up to $25 per customer per market.
