Taste what happens when the best local chefs meet the best local farmers!

The Tour travels to farmers markets across the country to showcase the connection between farmers, chefs, farmers markets and the communities they serve, and to give market shoppers the opportunity to experience Toyota's hybrid vehicles. Our Raleigh Downtown Farmers Market was selected as a stop on this year's Tour. Come out to the market on July 21 from 10am-2pm to check out this great collaboration of the Raleigh Downtown Farmers Market and the Toyota Farm to Table Tour.

Here are just a few of the exciting happenings to look forward to:
Test drive a 2010 Prius, Highlander Hybrid or Camry Hybrid and take home a John Boos cutting board as a memento of the experience.
