Kick off the spring season at the Carrboro Farmers Market for our highly anticipated Kids Seedling Day. This engaging community event invites families to discover the joys of local agriculture while participating in hands-on gardening activities. Children will have the exciting opportunity to receive a free seedling donated by our dedicated local farmers, which they can plant on-site, label, and nurture at home. Beyond gardening, the morning will be filled with creative expression through arts and crafts, a fun poetry activity, and lively music that celebrates the vibrant spirit of our town. This free event is designed to inspire the next generation of growers and food enthusiasts in a supportive, welcoming environment. Whether you are looking to support local sustainable agriculture or simply enjoy a memorable morning outdoors with your children, Kids Seedling Day offers the perfect blend of education and fun. We invite all families to join us at the Carrboro Town Commons to celebrate the beauty of spring. Please visit our website to learn more about our upcoming market events and plan your visit today.
