The economy really, really stinks and farmer's markets are a good way to go. I heard someone say we could also just eat a lot less, which would save our wallets and waistlines.

It's on the Sandy Ridge Road exit off I-40. Go there to get the goat cheese! #2 is the Greensboro Curb Market on Yanceyville Street. #3 is the Winston-Salem Farmer's Market at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. Go at 6 am to get the best stuff. By 8:00, most of the goods are gone. To find other farmer's markets, go to http://localharvest.org.
