Mecklenburg County Market

Excellent local market with fresh milk and dairy products. Love being able to shop locally and support farms around the community. I go there weekly for months and never been booted. Make sure you park where their signs say and you’ll be fine.

Didn’t even make it inside because my car was BOOTED while I was sitting in it, engine running, while I was on a call. The owner was clearly working with the tow company, and the entire situation felt extremely predatory. I was charged $300 to remove the boot and was threatened that my car would be towed with me inside it if I didn’t pay immediately. I was given no options and made to feel completely trapped and forced to comply. I’m honestly glad I didn’t make it inside to support this business in any way. Regardless of what’s offered inside, I would not recommend. Their manner and lack of empathy speak for themselves.

I was about to enter this store and a gentleman came up to our vehicle and booted it. Then threatened to tow our vehicle with us in it. This is not the first time apparently as so many people on here have written about the same experience. This is obviously a scam between the owner and the tow company. I have reported both companies to the BBB and will be filing complaints. I dont think they will pull one on me. Attendant cried racism after being told he was a scavenger preying on people. Would not give his credentials and claims he doesnt warn people to move their vehicle when its running and occupied. Avoid this parking lot and business

We have been shopping the COUNTY MARKET for over 50 years. We became great friends with Dale Lucy and their daughter , Beverly kind and wonderful people. They make it so easy to buy fresh Produce already bagged and cleaned for you straight from the farm. Go try it. You will love it too. It’s a place of warmth and good food.

We are fans of The Mecklenburg Market’s produce, snacks and Amish baked goods and ice cream. We’ve also enjoyed Beverly’s homemade soups, quiches and casseroles. We love the old-timey ambiance and the friendly, helpful staff. It was a surprise treat to see the market featured in a recent episode of “My View with Lara Trump.” The Food Babe, a well known Charlotte podcaster, was interviewed there to highlight healthy eating choices. Highly recommend this hidden gem and appreciate its long history in the Queen City.

Mecklenburg County Market is such a gem! It’s a small, family-owned business that truly supports the local community, with amazing local produce and vendors you can feel good about buying from. Everything is fresh, thoughtfully sourced, and the people are incredibly kind and welcoming. You can really tell how much care and pride goes into this market—highly recommend stopping by and supporting local!

First thing I have to say THIS IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL PARKING LOT! It is a shame how these parking lot 1-star reviewers behave, and I believe it is more a reflection on them as selfish individuals. The signage is posted CLEAR AS DAY that if you park there and do not go in to the market, go elsewhere, you WILL be towed. It can’t be anymore clear. These incompetent individuals used the market parking as their own personal parking spot to go about the city as they please. These people get towed/booted because they disobey the extremely clear, extremely simple warning signs posted all over the parking lot. And then want to come crying here like there is a predatory towing operation going on there. These people who were booted did so because they selfishly ignored the rules of the market-owned parking lot, they thought they could park there and spend the day walking around the city. Simply, no. You take spots away from the real shoppers, and from a family-owned and operated business. Disgusting, selfish, entitled people. Saw all these people conveniently leaving that part out of their miserable reviews, so had to speak on that as it is just untrue and unfair to these hardworking incredible people. The produce is second to none in Charlotte. Gavin the clerk is very kind and knowledgeable and a joy to shop with! DO BETTER PEOPLE AND STOP BEING ENTITLED AND SELFISH!

This originally would have been a 4 star review, the only complaint being the small parking lot that is generally full and hard to get in to. However, after seeing others give low reviews because they parked here to do business elsewhere, I had add the 5th star. This is a small store with limited produce and products, however if they don’t have something you are looking for, they will often put in a special order. They also have pink pineapple regularly, and that is delicious.

Small indoor market with local products. Check and see if they have marked down produce. Parking is in the rear. Small so be careful

Very friendly staff and lots of produce to choose from. They always have seeded watermelons and other various real fruits that have seeds which makes me happy. You can also purchase spring water from here that comes from Midas spring water which is up near Latta Nature Preserve

Very clean Good prices .great selection would totally go back every week. Can't wait to return

So the fresh produce and vegan food choices are great here ! The folks working make sure you get the best service whether you need something specific or want to know when something is coming back in stock. I like the old town store vibe it gives. Have a lot of old school snacks & drinks and everything is almost local in there !

I love this market the staff are so respectful and the tow company that works for them are great I can now park when I go to shop

Great place for fine Beverly's products and a very good selection of mostly local fruits and vegetables and dairy products. Worth a visit...

I love this place. Between this and The Butler's Pantry I can fill my home with incredible veggies and frozen casseroles and soups. All well made and delicious, many vegetarian and family favorites. When Mr. McLaughlin was there his warmth was felt and infectious. Even my elderly Mama loved it when I would bring her here. She taught me how to cook both country and gourmet foods. Highly recommend

Great store for fruits and fresh veggies! Customer service always great and you can always find what you are looking for with great prices. I applaud purchase fruits, elderberry syrup, and other goodies.

I work at the hospital and recommend all my patients and families to walk here to get real FRESH fruits and veggies. Employees also get 10% discount if you work at the hospital. They have a huge selection of fruits, veggies, bread, baked goods, jams, canned stuff, ready to serve, gluten free, vegan, and soups to eat. They are so nice and very helpful. They also sell CBD stuff at the counter if that's your thing.

I absolutely cannot think of another place that I would rather be doing what I'm doing then right here across from this person.

I stopped in this market because I have always driven past and wanted to finally check it out. It had a lot of goodies to browse through. My favorite was the section of premade dinners and soups. They are made by Beverly's gourmet and I just love all of their items. they had a large selection to choose from and everything looked wonderful. It was hard to make a decision. Along with fruits and veggies, they also have a large selection of canned goods. They also have some sweets and bakery items. The parking lot is in the back and there is a lot of room.

Stopped in to replace my Beverly Gourmet Dishes, unfortunately it was expired but was still in the refrigerator when I purchased it. The sales lady apologized and allowed me to exchange the item. I shop here often so I knew it probably was a mistake. But seeing as though I always have great customer service here I continued to purchase more items that I needed. I grabbed the homemade veggie spread, another granny homemade soup, my favorite plant burger mix, and some fruits and veggies. If you have visited the Mecklenburg County Farmers market I completely recommend!

Local grown, in season produce - you can find it here 363 days a year, 7 days a week. 7:00am to 7:00 pm.

A great independent co op style grocer with fruit , produce and a variety of jams and refrigerated pre made excellent goods. If your vegetarian, vegan, or plant based there is quite a few great options. I found a plant based burger pre-mix that was phenomenal. Worth checking out!

When you're on the search for hard to find traditional food item I recommend checking Mecklenburg County Market. I was on the search for pickled eggs without added dyes and artificial ingredients, this was only place I could find them. This store also sells jams, farm fresh vegetables, seasonings and more. Definitely worth going to discover something new.

This place is a GEM!!! Lots of fresh, in season produce from local farmers. They have great coffee, fresh bread, jams and jellies, Ashe Co Cheese and Sweets Elderberry Syrup. Also have Beverly's Gourmet foods- good selection of lunch and dinner items! Can't be beat!!

The oldest farmer's market in NC! I have no idea how I'm the first to review. Great little selection of locally grown foods. If King's street market wasn't a couple blocks away I think this place would be known by all. Kind of a hidden little spot next to the hospital. Fair prices, great friendly service and, a diverse selection of staples and prepared foods. That pretty much says it. The history alone means its at least worth a visit.

I went here hoping to compare shop against the King's Drive Farmer's Market across the street. OMG people! Not only was it twice as much, but a MUCH smaller selection of "fresh" produce, and what's even worse and upsetting is that everything in there was old! The Roma tomatoes skin was wrinkly (they should be tight and firm), the bell peppers looked sick, the apples looked old, the peaches had started to rot. I couldn't find a single fresh produce item in there that I wanted. I was the only customer in there for about 10 minutes, and I walked right on out the door, went back to the King's Drive Farmer's Market to get some things I was going to get here, and decided that I was SOOO disappointed that I was going to write a review to tell others DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE! There's a reason that there's ample parking with only 5 parking spaces available. CUZ NOBODY COMES HERE and now I know why. Smh. This market should be ashamed to say they sell fresh produce. No, you sell produce. There's nothing "fresh" about it. You have been warned, people. Smh

A true gem in Charlotte, I headed to this indoor market on a Sunday morning prior to driving three hours to Fayetteville, NC and was pleasantly surprised they opened at noon. I found a nice selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, bakery and some chilled selections like soups, eggs, butters, milk, etc. Any time I travel to Charlotte, I'll be sure to stop at this market! FYI, I had used the restroom prior to departing, and I happened to forget my Yeti mug. I hadn't realized my error until I was 90 minutes away, and after contacting the store, Nicole was such a dear as to mail it to me; I was able to reimburse the postage cost via a Zelle transfer.

I was about to start the battle for parking at the King's Drive Framer's Market, when suddenly, I remembered the Mecklenburg County Market. I used to go there years ago when we lived in Dilworth. I was able to find ample parking and didn't have to elbow people to get to the tomatoes. The market offers not only gorgeous produce and free range eggs, but prepared vegan/vegetarian food, soaps and baked goods. And, you remember the old song, "The Farmer In The Dell?" Well, there is actually a farmer here whose name is Dale! I purchased corn, okra, beautiful heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, peaches, a spaghetti squash, and summer squash at prices that didn't break the bank. Needless to say, I have been putting together the most sumptuous meals this week. I will be back to get my fix of fresh, fabulous food.

I love this hidden gem which also happens to be the oldest farmer's market in Mecklenburg county. It is full of locally grown delicious produce! Heirloom tomatoes, big boys, hot house, purple Cherokees... you name it, they have it. In addition to the corn, peppers, peaches, berries, eggplants, etc... they also have jams and local baked goods. Lastly, the Beverly's Gourmet meals to go are divine! Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available. The tomato pie is fabulous! These are great meals to drop off when you have signed up to bring a meal to a friend and cannot find the time for homemade... these meals are homemade, just not in your kitchen! They take a debit card. Located next to CMC-Main, park in rear.

This place is great! It's like going to a country farmers market back in time. All the produce is labeled where it was grown. They also cary locally made dishes, soups, and other locally made items. Very friendly staff and family owned. It's open on Sunday's too!

This market has been thriving since early 1900's and you can't go wrong with this family owned business who seriously supports local NC farmers and growers of all sorts of usual and unusual items you can't fond anywhere else around CLT!

I absolutely love this little market. It is a year round, all weather type market. It is old, in doors, friendly service and great produce. There are also little knick knacks and home made treats. I especially like the tomato pie and veggie lasagna in the freezer section. The produce is fantastic- you can still find a fresh heirloom tomato in the fall (he has a green house). You feel like you are stepping back in time (except that they do accept debit cards- unlike most markets!)

I love this spot for produce and fresh eggs. The owner has a farm on the north side of town and has options from there when they are seasonally available. Always helpful when I have questions about how the vegetables are grown (such as no pesticides used) or where they come from if not in season or close by. Feels great supporting local owners, too!

I can't say enough great things about this place. Total hidden gem. Wish someone had told me sooner about this place. Truly local produce and products plus they are restocked daily with Beverly's Gourmet Food which my family lives off of! Best eggs in town too!
