Over the past year, our farmers’ market community has showcased resilience in our rapidly changing world. Southeast Ohio’s local farms and farmers’ markets have always been a hub for innovation, and have been at the forefront of adapting rapid solutions to protect staff, customers, and our community during this time of crisis. More than ever before, National Farmers’ Market Week is an opportunity to showcase the value of farmers’ markets in our communities.
As a way of celebrating, every day during National Farmers’ Market Week (August 1-7), we put the spotlight on a randomly selected farmers’ market across our social media channels. We are grateful to our local farmers and appreciate the endless work they do all year to keep food on our plates.
View a compilation of our National Farmers’ Market Week spotlights below and be sure to follow them on Facebook to keep up with the latest!
