Eno River market sells to local restaurant

From Staff Reports
Hillsborough chef Aaron Vandermark of Panciutto knows where to find the highest quality ingredients — the Eno River Farmers Market.

By sourcing his ingredients from ERFM, Vandermark said he knows he can find good-quality, pesticide-free produce, picked fresh from local farms by farmers he knows and trusts.

Vandermark shops at the market weekly to supply his ever-changing, seasonal menu.

Market vendors, such as Rob Bowers of Whitted Bowers Farm, said they are also excited about the relationship. Whitted Bowers Farm is an organic, biodynamic farm specializing in heirloom varieties of melons and tomatoes.

Bowers has supplied Panciuto with heirloom tomatoes.

“We love selling to restaurants as they appreciate high quality produce in every respect,” Bowers said.
