Q&A: Farmers markets and warm drinks

Each week, we answer reader questions about food and drink in Charlotte

Q: Are all of the farmers markets in Charlotte year-round?
Kristen: No, they’re not. October marks the end for several markets in the area. Check out our guide here to find more information on which markets are year-round and which are wrapping up soon.

Q: I love a warm cocktail. Have you seen any on menus yet?
Kristen: I used to love ordering a hot toddy at Dogwood on a cold night, so I feel you! But no, I haven’t yet — and usually don’t until we hit winter. My suggestion is to grab a bottle of apple cider as part of your next Freshlist order (they sometimes carry it at The Culture Shop, too!), warm it up, and add a splash of your preferred spirit.
