The Apex Farmers Market opened April 6 in front of the Chamber of Commerce building in downtown Apex. The market had poor attendance in 2012 and is looking to improve its numbers this year in hopes of keeping it open for years to come. The market doesn’t have any sponsors, so community support is imperative.

“Pretty much every town has a farmers market,” marketing manager Debbie Lubcker told the Apex Herald earlier this month. “We have a lot of people in Apex and it would be sad if we didn’t have a market. I’ll know by the end of the season whether we will have one anymore or not.”
