FFM to Celebrate National Farmers’ Market Week at this weekend’s market

Forsyth Farmers’ Market – a community-focused nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting area farmers and expanding access to fresh, local food – will hold a special National Farmers’ Market Week Celebration on Saturday, August 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the south end of Forsyth Park. In addition, Forsyth Farmers’ Market will officially announce the winner of the inaugural Market Dog competition, presented in collaboration with Service Brewing Co.

This annual celebration will highlight the vital role that small farms and farmers’ markets play in America’s national and local food systems. The National Farmers’ Market Week festivities will include live music, children’s activities, a chef-led demonstration from Farm Hospitality Group (including Common Thread and Flora & Fauna) as well as Forsyth Farmers Market giveaways.
