After Tropical Depression Chantal poured on the Triangle earlier this month, some local farmers markets are still recovering from the flood damage. The storm particularly hit both the Eno River and Chapel Hill farmers markets’ locations.

In downtown Hillsborough, vendors, families, and community members packed the Eno River Farmers Market pavilion on Saturday morning. The day looked like any of the market’s typical busy days, but the site had been flooded with up to four feet of water just two weeks before. 

And when she saw the site after the storm, there were two words going through Market Manager Melissa Cada’s head. 

“Oh crap,” she said. “I mean we just couldn’t believe how much rain we had and how much the Eno swelled.”

The David E. Price Pavilion sits just next to the Eno River, and while explaining how the floodwater soon receded, Cada said the cleanup effort is still a “work in progress” for both the site and River Park. Located next to the market, the greenway is temporarily closed to the community. 

“We are so thankful to be back here, but it’s still very frustrating because I came down this morning and there was some mud from some of the rain,” Cada said. “The county did a really great job of cleaning it up, but then with the rains that have happened this week, the residue has pooled up along the sides of the pavilion and a little bit in the pavilion further down. So we had to shovel it this morning.”
