SHOP FRESH, LOCAL & A LEGACY For almost 75 years, the Montgomery Curb Market has been offering area residents a diverse array of locally grown and made foods in the same location on the edge of downtown. Today, it’s the oldest continually operating curb or farmers market in Alabama. The secret to its longevity is simple: It gives customers a one-stop shop for the freshest and highest quality locally and regionally grown produce as well as baked goods, bedding plants, cut flowers, canned and preserved goods, farm-fresh eggs, butchered meats, plus handmade crafts from 12 to 30 different vendors on any given day. A recent offering — two local chefs providing take-home meals — ramps up the market’s appeal. But Curb Market enthusiasts find a lot more than homegrown tomatoes and decadent layer cakes at the historic spot. For decades it’s been a gathering place, offering a real sense of community while preserving a legacy, inviting new generations to carry on the tradition of coming down to Madison Avenue and picking up fruits and veggies or finding the perfect (or perfectly imperfect!) pumpkin in the fall. Watch the Curb Market's social media (Instagram: @montgomery_curb_market; Long-time customers and vendors of the Curb Market are part of its charm. New vendors and advocates like Preston Williams and Phillip Carter (shown right) are working to make it even more shopper-friendly.
