Let's Celebrate Our Farmers At The Market!
The OBFM has more local farmers in our market this year than ever before who on Saturday mornings set up under white tents on the courthouse square. The conversations that ensues between the farmers and gardeners who grew or made the products and the shoppers who are looking for fresh, locally grown produce, meats, and other farm goods creates a direct and personal link between our local small businesses and consumers.
It doesn't get any better than this!
There are traditional farmers who have tended the land for generations offering field-fresh vegetables of all kinds; growers using sustainable, organic methods, hydroponically grown veggies; fresh, locally harvested produce, herbs, microgreens, blueberries, figs, melons, honey, flowers, potted succulents, plants, pickled veggies, jams and jellies, and
hemp products.
Our farmers of the sea offer farm-raised oysters, smoked wild-caught fish and fresh,
wild-caught shrimp.
Our livestock farmers grow pasture-raised, quality chicken, beef, pork, duck, goose, farm fresh chicken and duck eggs, and our alpaca farmers offer fine products made from their pasture-raised alpacas' wool.
Find them all each Saturday on the main drive under the oaks and shop with us to celebrate the diversity of agriculture we have in our area and in our market!

CAROLINA PICKLE COMPANY: Christian & Donnie Mills
"Hello! My name is Christian Mills. My husband, Donnie, and I own Carolina Pickle Company. We make cold-packed pickles and small-batch jams and jellies. My husband and I both come from farming families, so farming is in our DNA. We grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs and raise animals for meat production on our eastern NC farm. We are crazy about pickling as evidenced by our large selection of pickle flavors. We love what we do and enjoy spreading our love of all things pickled with our wonderful customers!."
COASTAL BREEZE SUCCULENTS AND HERBS : Nancy Little
"I am a plant lover and grower! As a life-long gardener, I have spent many, many hours learning about and growing plants. Years ago, I began growing succulents. After learning how adaptable they are to the environment and how easy they are to propagate, I was hooked, and I began to grow as many plants as I could. When I retired from my professional life, I decided to grow two categories of plants I’ve had great success with - succulents and herbs – not only for myself, but to share with others.
I find that shoppers who stop by to chat with me at the Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market are sometimes interested in either adding a single, unusual succulent to their existing garden, or looking for an easy-care gift of a plant that is already potted. Lately, though, most of my customers are looking for a single succulent that is already potted, or an arrangement of succulent plants that is for them. Everyone hopes that they will have great success in keeping their plant(s) alive, and I hope my advice will help them achieve that goal!
Find me on Facebook at @coastalbreezesucculents "
FOUNTAIN DREAM FLOWERS: Kim LeClair
"I have a passion for gardening and want to share the love of beautiful flowers by creating bouquets from my gardens here in Morehead City, NC."
FOX HAVEN FARM: Libby Steadham
"At 'Fox Haven Farm' we are blessed with gracious neighbors, land formerly grazed pastureland that now lends itself well for our organic, compost rich gardens, small orchard, blueberries fruits of all kinds, heirloom garlic and variety of vegetables. Our pollinators are so very important to our efforts. Their honey is rich golden and oh so sweet. This year's harvest is abundant and we are happy to offer local honey at the market.
'Seasonal Cooking from the Garden' was created from over 30 years of experience in cooking with the foods we grow. Inspired by the seasons, it is in honor of an extraordinary life lived with a “sustainable” farmer and our love affair with the land. These simple recipes of goodness are offered for you to try, experiment with and enjoy! We invite you to join us on this journey through the seasons of the garden."
FRESH EPICUREAN FARM: Jeff Harlow
"I am the owner of Fresh Epicurean Farms. I live in Morehead City. The farm is located in Gloucester North Carolina. I wanted to create a farm that produces culinary herbs for home cooks and chefs to use to make the freshest meals and making herbal products and seasonings. Fresh Epicurean Farms is becoming known for aromatic large herb plants. We grow Sweet Basil, Thai Basil, Lemon Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Summer Savory, Thyme, Sage, Oregano, hot and mild peppers, and Peppermint. We put basil into our all natural lotion bars, bath salts, sugar scrubs and lip balms. Also, we make two different types of fresh seasonings that go well with shrimp, burger patties, steak, chicken, and vegetables. Our web site is freshepicurean.weebly.com."
GOAT LADY DAIRY/3VIP,LLC: Denise Robertson, Market Representative

OCEAN AIR HEMP FARM: Mike & Traci Hynes
Traci Says:
"Here at Ocean Air Hemp Farms we have been busy as usual! As many of you know, our soil has been a great focus and we've put in a lot of dedicated work. We desire to provide quality produce and plants, so we continue to cultivate nutritious soil by tilling in a little "nature"! This includes the bio-char we have been generating, local fish house scraps, manure, vegetation and wood chips.
Of course we are also regularly tending our hemp plants (harvesting will be late September), fruit trees and animals. Very recently we incubated Guinea hen eggs and they've become our newest addition! Perhaps you will see them soon at the market!"
OPHELIA INLET PRODUCTS: Craig Hamilton
Craig Hamilton bridges the gap of being both a pasture farmer and a farmer of the sea with both duck/geese products, fresh duck eggs and also tasty smoked local wild-caught fish from the sounds and sea in our area. The smoked fish products are quickly becoming a market favorite!
Recently his ducks and their eggs were featured in an article by Rebecca Jones of the Carteret News Times. The online link is provided for your reading pleasure.
Rebecca writes:
"Craig Hamilton of Beaufort Way Farm in Atlantic has a rich heritage and history with ducks. He took to the path of duck egg farming through his grandfather, Julian Hamilton Sr. who moved from Atlantic to Beaufort around the time of the Great Depression to work at First Citizens Bank. He raised Wood Ducks in a flight pen in his backyard at 805 Ann St. and even exported Wood Duck eggs to a zoo in Italy so the Italians could view our North American Wood Ducks."
