“I believe there is a growing demand for locally grown and produced food, foods that taste good, are good for you and sustain the local economy. Gathering weekly at a market to buy those foods and know the producers is vital to continuing growth and support of existing farmers and producers.” D.Scanlan, Mkt Mgr.
