6 Ways to Celebrate National Farmers Market Week

1. Try Something New

Farmers market these days offer a diverse range of items.  This month, try artisan soap, ground cherries, daikon, ferments, local mushrooms, cheesecake, or bread. Not sure what some of these items are or where to find them?  Stop by the info booth and staff will guide you to unique products.
​

2. Give to the Market

Give a tax-deductible gift to the Northside Farmers Market. You will see your dollars at work with the happy faces of children spending time doing an activity, the joy of seeing someone trying something new, or the friendly people that grow the food you enjoy every day.

3. Talk to a Vendor

Talking to vendors is what makes the farmers market shopping experience different than any other.  Ask your farmers how they grow things, for recipe ideas, or just learn their names.  

4. Tag NFM in Your Market Haul

The Northside Farmers Market is on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  The market posts its own glamour shots of produce and vendors every week, but why not join in and show the world your favorite products?  Snap a photo of your market haul, then tag the market on one of those platforms.

5. Share the Harvest

This month, help a neighbor in need by purchasing a local food item and donating it to Churches Active In Northside’s (CAIN) Another For a Neighbor program.  Donated food items are distributed in pantry on Thursday mornings after the market.

6. Bring a Friend

How many people have you told about the farmers market recently? Invite a friend to join you this month, and show him/her your favorite vendors, how to use a credit/debit/EBT card at the info booth, or take part in one of our fun, free activities.
