The Moore County Farmers Market was established in 1976 on Pennsylvania Avenue in Southern Pines as an open market. The town of Southern Pines elected to construct a Fire Department at that location in 1999 and the market moved to the Morganton Road Park Sports Complex in Southern Pines.

The Moore County Farmers Market became a “producer only” status with vendors coming from within a 50 mile radius. Two additional markets opened in 2007 and 2008. Moore County Farmers Market partnered with FirstHealth of Pinehurst and established a market on Monday afternoons from mid April to the end of October to provide employees an opportunity to purchase local and fresh fruits. In 2008, the downtown Southern Pines market was established on Saturday from 8am-noon and runs from mid April through the end of October. During the summer months local chefs, musicians, and other community leaders volunteer their time to provide samples of food from the market vendors, music, and informational sessions for customers.
