It's so convenient--right outside my building! Everything is so fresh and it provides a wonderful venue for bringing the uptown community together.

Center City Green Market is a well run market with a wide variety of produce, vegetables, clothing and more! I shop there often and it's great for people living and working Uptown.

The freshest products are available there. Grocery stores do not carry high quality products as would be expected.

Having access to fresh produce, flowers and meat is great. It has become a necessity to the center city. I love to see the workers, residents and visitors with their grocery bags full of the days bounty.

I am a vendor! You can get your fresh produce along with some great art, jewlery, clothes, bake goods, fresh fish, ect...

It is the most community oriented farmer's market in Charlotte, and has the most diverse selection of produce, flowers, and handmade jewelry!

This green market has is a great urban feel to it. Good selection of vendors and the market is within walking distance of some great places to grab brunch after shopping. The overall experience is different then your usual green market experience. I really enjoyed it.

Aside from having a great assortment of the usual vendors and products, it is one of the only markets of its kind in the dead center of an major urban city center. It is great to see such community and local fare being held in the inner city of Charlotte!

It is wonderful to have a fresh Market in the Urban Center. You can pick up items from local farmers on your lunch break and save on fuel by not hitting the shops while get a little extra bit of exercise

Since I work in Center City it is nice to know that I don't have to go to far to get fresh produce, etc.

It's the most intimate, local, urban market I've ever seen! Nestled right between wonderful museums and the new Blue Line light rail - it's an amazing green market experience!

It's smaller and easier to get in and out. It's also a real feeling of community.
