It’s time to get ready for National Farmers Market Week! Now in its 25th year, National Farmers Market Week is an annual celebration that highlights the vital role farmers markets play in our nation’s food system. Findlay Market is celebrating all week long with events, programming, children’s activities, and more. Show our farmers some love and join us for a fun-filled week.
This National Farmers Market Week, Findlay Market is highlighting the importance of fresh foods for food insecure individuals. Through our Nutrition Assistance Benefits Programs, we are able to improve access to fresh, healthy food for our low-income shoppers. Consider donating to these programs to help your neighbors in need.
