National Farmers Market week is from August 1-7th. Why not celebrate it by coming down to the Salem Farmers’ Market today, and pick up some fresh produce, bread, and desserts (to name just a few of the things we have.) or follow this link and vote for the Salem Farmers’ Market as your favorite market. There are over 6,000 farmers markets in the United States a growing number about double what it was only 10 years ago. Most food in the U.S. travels about 1,500 miles to get to the consumer by shopping locally at farm stands and local markets you dramatically reduce the distance food travels.
The Salem Farmers Market accepts the EBT card for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Food Program (or SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) making local food more accessible to the broader community. Support your farmers market and support your community.
