What is the purpose of a Farmers Market?
Farmers’ Markets enable local producers to sell their goods directly to consumers; this means; fresher food; a better understanding between producer and consumer; high quality produce at an affordable price; and a fairer income for producers. Farmers’ Markets promote a more sustainable society by reducing “food miles”, assisting in the sale and marketing of food produced to high environmental and welfare standards, and by reconnecting consumers with the farming community that surrounds and serves them. The benefits are numerous!
