Farmers will be part-owners in the Co-op. They plan to sell produce, meats and other products.
So far, about 80 farmers paid memberships into the co-op. They have not picked a site.
"They know they are contributing to their local economy, they're supporting their local agriculture and they're doing a good turn for themselves," said Eliza MacLean, owner of Cane Creek Farm.
It could be more than a year before the store opens. The market is modeled after one in Pittsboro.
