Welcome back! Here we are again:  a new month, a new vendor, and a new featured chef stopping by to showcase a unique way of using what the market has to offer.This Wednesday from 4-7 pm, Raleigh City Farmers’ Market is proud to announce that chef Kim Hunter, owner of Raleigh’s premier Korean restaurant, Kimbap, will be stirring up an exclusive and mouthwatering sample of her own.  Kim always knew she wanted to work with food for a living and her dream became reality when she opened Kimbap in 2013.  A proud supporter of local farmers, Hunter features produce and meats in her restaurant that are grown in North Carolina.  She takes pride in what she serves -- she knows who grew it, how it was grown, and where it came from.Also making their debut at the market:  new vendors Oak City Coffee Roasters and Sweet Peas Urban Gardens.
