Bare Market
Erica Lee & Jenny Groening
|
Our growing concern for the health and well being of our own family members and the affordability of all-natural products inspired us to make our own all-natural products using pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. We do extensive research for each product we create, and then we test each product to make sure it does what it claims to do.
 Bare Market products are hand crafted in small batches to control quality. We are always developing new products. If there is a product you would like to have, or a skin condition you struggle with, message us through Facebook. The more requests we get for a certain type of product, the faster we may make it available. Our goal is to help you strip off the chemicals and be a more natural you!
Try our exceptional, affordable Nourishing Skin Treatment!

We have also facilitated classes for non-profit organizations and schools, including the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and the Union County elementary schools.

Chosen Roaster
Alan Hersh and Russell Grastorf
|
 I remember when I was a kid and my family would go into town. There was a little nut shop that roasted nuts freshly every day. The aroma made my mouth water. No one does that anymore...until now! Chosen Roaster is a locally owned nut roasting company located in Waxhaw, NC. We hand-roast shelled peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds for a delicious, unforgettable natural treat. We intend to change how people think about roasted nuts-from that deep-fried, salted nut like they are used to getting-to our healthy, hand-roasted nuts. We are changing the world one nut at a time!
Taste the difference!

Grapes and Olives on Tap
Alejandro & Diane Lopez
|
 
Grapes & Olives On Tap specializes in naturally flavored balsamic vinegars and olive oils infused with herbs, citrus, berries, chocolate, mushrooms, and fruits. We want to share these products and their uses with you, bringing you tastier meals for healthier lives!
Our naturally flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars do not contain artificial coloring or preservatives. They are also cholesterol, sodium, and gluten-free. And our olive oils stay fresher longer since the actual herbs, citrus, berries, chocolate, mushrooms and fruit particles have been removed, and only the natural flavors remain.
Research continues to show that olive oil and balsamic vinegar both contain healthy antioxidant-loaded polyphenols that may help prevent cancer and increase longevity. Olive oil has been called "liquid gold" and "youth in a bottle!" And tasting our naturally flavored balsamic vinegars is like a visit to a candy store for grown-ups! At only 14 calories per tablespoon, you can put our balsamics on everything!
Pour. Savor. Enjoy!
We look forward to seeing you in the 2015 season!

I'm an avid gardener, and I like to share my garden with people. I offer seedlings in the spring; I have all kinds of herbs and heirloom and hybrid vegetable plants. I have the unusual or hard-to-find varieties that customers are often hunting for. Of course, I sell delicious chicken eggs, too. My chickens roam free in a large yard. They're fed natural grains and fresh vegetables daily.
I love the market, and, as its manager, I have been so happy to see it grow. I think we're becoming a southwest Union County attraction, and, certainly, we're offering our community better, healthier food choices all "under one roof".

McCord Farm
Johnnie McCord

I first became inter
e
s
ted in having chickens when I saw a blue egg!
I just love the colors.
They're all so individual and different.
So are the sizes and shapes of eggs.
...So, I began with Americanas.
Next thing I knew I had Rhode Island Reds, then Leg Horns...
My egg supply grew as my chickens grew, and I just had to start selling my delicious farm-fresh eggs!
I bring dozens and dozens of my eggs (and sometimes duck eggs) to the market each week, and I love selling them to the most wonderful customers!

Sea Lavender Farm
John Lee

Sea Lavender Farm is a 10-acre sustainable agriculture experiment begun in 2012. A one-man project using primarily hand tools and livestock workers, the goal is to build food systems to grow a variety of meats, poultry, fish, fruits, and vegetables together using principles of permaculture and ecological farming.
In 2014, I concentrated on raising pork and expanding my herd of heritage breed Red Wattle hogs to dig and fertilize new vegetable and flowerbeds for 2015.

Sharonview Farm
Teri and Nasi
|
We specialize in growing shiitake mushrooms. To help manage our disappearing forests, we grow our mushrooms using sweet gum trees, and it's been very successful. Our mushrooms have a slightly sweeter flavor than if they were grown on oak trees. I'm also a Master Gardener, and I enjoy offering my herbs, cut flowers, ground covers, and much more! 
Fresh shiitake mushrooms dry very easily in a paper bag in the refrigerator. For best results, we recommend rehydrating dried mushrooms by soaking them in warm tap water for about 15 minutes before using, or, better yet, add the dry mushrooms to soup or a crockpot to soak up even more flavor.
|
  I've returned to the area and to the market this year, but I actually sold at the market the very first year it opened. Customers and vendors alike have welcomed me back and expressed how much they enjoy the exquisite colors brought to the market each week with the cut flower bouquets and cut herbs I bring. I will be back for the new season 2015.
