This year we are back in person for our 16th Annual Running Event. We could not be more excited to bring you the quality race that you have come to expect. Our course winds it’s way through lovely little neighborhoods with long stretches out in the woods on the greenway where you can take in the serenity of nature.

Expect to encounter a hill or two, this is not what we would call a flat course. But, we will do our best to keep you motivated the whole way as you enjoy your run and the spirit of competition!
For our virtual events, we are offering two options, RUN ANYWHERE with RaceJoy – This means you can run on your own anywhere to complete one of three distance choices. You can run a 5k, a 10k, or a half marathon. Or you can run the events without RaceJoy. The beauty is that you can support the Davidson Lands Conservancy in their efforts to protect, explore, and support natural environments while running anywhere you want.
After you finish your run, you will easily be able to upload your results through RaceJoy or you can still do it the old fashioned way and send them to whitney@queencitytiming.com if you don’t want to use RaceJoy.
Follow this link to see why DLC’s Run For Green should be your next Runcation http://gardenandgun.com/article/small-town-escapes-davidson-nc. The charming town of Davidson offers up a relaxing weekend coupled with reaching your running goals. There are wonderful local places to stay including the Davidson Village Inn and other bed and breakfasts. You can carb up for your run at one of the many amazing restaurants from Flat Iron to Sabi Asian Bistro to dinner on the water at the North Harbor Club, and many more. After you finish your run, whether it is the 5K, 10K, or half marathon, you should bring your friends or family and take advantage of the wonderful shops and restaurants. There are so many good places to see and restaurants to try that you’ll want to stay for the whole weekend!

DFM’s prime market season is in full swing! With 36 vendors, the variety of foods and goods is vibrant as well as the operations of these local, small businesses. Its a sight to see and a testament to the fervor our surrounding area has for local, North Carolina products.
If you attended or missed last week’s market, I want to remind everyone about our temporary layout during construction on the new gathering space behind Summit Coffee. Here are a few things to know to make your shopping experience the fullest:
You can enter the market from multiple locations (there is not a designated entrance or exit to the market);
There are three rows of vendors: two in the Jackson Street parking lot and one in the grassy area next to Davidson Family Medicine;
You can access the third row from Jackson Street with our designated cut through and re-enter Jackson Street at the top near DFM’s shed and market tent;
If you’re looking for a specific vendor and can’t find them, you can ask one of our Green Team Volunteers (the folks in green shirts) or stop by DFM’s tent; and
Market hours are 9am – Noon.
Speaking of volunteers. It takes a lot of dedicated volunteers to help setup and takedown the farmers market every weekend. Their generous help is tremendous and Courtney and I are so grateful to work with such kind and fun people. If you would like to volunteer this Saturday or any weekend this year, you can sign up here or email Courtney directly to learn more about DFM’s Green Team.
See you all this Saturday, rain or shine!
Happy eating,
Justin

This Saturday, 3/27, is the last winter market for the season! This means that Saturday, April 3, will be DFM’s kickoff to the full season. Starting on the 4/3 the market will be EVERY Saturday, 9am-noon, until November 20 (the weekend before Thanksgiving). During the full season we will welcome 36 vendors, new and returning sponsors, nonprofit vendors, and reintroduce community events and programs (later in the year).
Safety during the pandemic is still our number one priority! As Covid-19 cases decrease and more vaccines are received, we will slowly decrease our pandemic procedures when advised by state and local guidance. Please reference our newsletters and social media for up-to-date information regarding DFM guidelines.
Next week’s newsletter we will share the new market map, which will be our temporary map while construction continues through May. Once construction is complete, we will expand the market into the newly open space and have a beautiful new layout to accommodate vendors and shoppers.
We’re excited for the full season to start in a week and look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday!
Happy eating,
Justin

Those that came to the market on Saturday, March, 6 –– thank you! The market looked a little different with construction happening between DFM and Summit Coffee causing a little confusion how to access the market, especially after a year with a dedicated entrance and exit in response to the pandemic. Those that arrived on the 6th were so respectful of the changes and maintained social distancing making the market a great success for our vendors and fellow shoppers. Thank you, again!
With most of the area fenced off, we decided to open the market up to allow shoppers easier, and safer, access. If you’re new to DFM in the last year, this is how the market used to be before Covid, and we’ve been eager to return to that layout once the pandemic is over. As construction continues until May, we will keep the market without an entrance, exit, and barriers. We do ask that our shoppers wait until 9am to enter the space where vendors are. At 9am we ring the market bell, loudly, to alert shoppers and vendors that the market has opened and shopping can begin. We do the same thing at noon when the market is closed. We are still requiring shoppers, vendors, staff, and volunteers to wear masks while at the market and maintain social distancing.
There are two winter markets left, 3/20 and 3/27, before the market’s full season opening on Saturday, April 3. During our full season there will be 36 vendors and the market operating every Saturday –– but more info about that in our upcoming newsletters.
I look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday for another beautiful market.
Happy eating,
Justin
