“And the idea with the program through Field and Fork Network, which we have been presenting here at the farmers market since 2017, would be to stimulate the economy of our farmers markets in general, but also to encourage fresh and healthy food for our region “

If you can’t come today, you can check out the market next Thursday and every Thursday until October 24.
