Josh’s Farmers Market in Mooresville Lake Norman
If you have reason to be on Williamson Road in Mooresville on Thursday – Sunday you might have seen a crowded parking lot nestled in some trees on the east side of the street just south of Highway 150. This is where Josh Graham and his wife Alicia own and operate their popular Josh’s Farmers Market which sells seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables from local growers and from Columbia S.C.
It’s truly like an entire farmers market all under one large tent. The day I took these photos I bought some of the North Carolina peaches which were ripe, and incredibly sweet as I have found all of their fresh fruits to be. What a difference from store-bought fruits!
Besides seasonal fruits and berries, Josh also has a great variety of vegetables, fresh corn, and of course, several varieties of juicy red tomatoes, some grown on their own land!
Every week they drive down at 2:00am to Columbia SC to “get the freshest produce” according to a recent article in the Mooresville Tribune. “There’s not many places that you can go when the squash or blueberries were picked an hour before you buy them” according to Graham.
Most locals know that the best time to visit Josh’s Farmers Market is on Thursday or Friday in order to get the best selection before they sell out!
Josh’s Farmers Market also sells local honey, jams and canned vegetables.
New this year, The Shrimp Connection has joined Josh and is selling fresh fish which from what I have been told is fantastic.
While I love the fresh fruits and produce, I can never resist taking home one of their freshly baked, to-die-for, pies or some cookies and Amish bread.
Josh’s Farmer’s Market is open seasonally and then sells pumpkins for Halloween and Christmas trees in December.
During peak season they are open Thursdays – Sundays at about 10:00am
