The Davidson Association is partnering with the Shelby Foothills Farmers’ Market to bring a muchneeded satellite farmers market to Kings Mountain this summer. The market will be located at the vacant Wells Fargo parking lot downtown at 125 S Battleground Avenue on Saturdays beginning June 3rd through August from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The Kings Mountain market will serve as a smaller version of the Shelby market providing a variety of fresh foods.

“The Davidson Association is committed to making a difference in the community,” stated Tamra Moody, Chair of the Health Committee for the Davidson Association, and coordinator of the Kings Mountain farmers market project.

“We know that the only way that Kings Mountain can have a successful farmers market is if everyone comes together to make it happen. We couldn’t have put this project together without the help of the Cleveland County Cooperative Extension Office, the City of King Mountain, and the Foothills Farmers’ Market Committee. We are also grateful to Phil and Sandie Dee for allowing us to use the Wells Fargo property as our venue this summer.”

“We are asking the community to support the market weekly. We are asking our local restaurants to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables from the market. We are also asking high school students in the horticulture department to volunteer at the market this summer. This is truly a community event. If you know of anyone that may be interested in selling at the KM market this summer, please email us historicdavidson@ gmail.com. Fees will be waived this year,” Moody said.
