With five Saturdays left in its first season of operation, the Davidson Farmers Market has been a success for both shoppers and the local farmers and vendors who participate, organizers say. About 300 people visit on a typical weekend, co-chair Mary Jane Leach said. The market has brought new life to downtown on Saturday mornings, where shoppers can be found strolling on Main Street and slipping into local stores. At Summit Coffee, sales are up, and the manager reports they’ve even added staff to handle the traffic.
