Why celebrate?
Spending thousands of years and cultures across the globe, farmers markets are rooted in our past, present, and future. Adaptable, flexible, and durable, farmers markets show up for their communities during times of crisis, celebration, and everything in between.
Farmers Markets allow us to eat, shop, connect, and more! Across the country, farmers markets are defining their role in our communities. Markets are not only essential to local food systems, but they also increase opportunities for us to learn, grow, and work together. Farmers markets are designed in partnership with the people they serve and create a space where market operators, farmers, shoppers, and neighbors can collaborate to meet the evolving needs of their community. Farmers markets foster direct relationships between community members and farmers which can work to create a more fair and sustainable food system. Farmers markets are hubs for connection and collective action around shared values.
Your local farmers work tirelessly to ensure you have a sustainable local food economy. Make sure to visit the Tiffin Seneca Farmers Market not only during this exciting time to celebrate, but every week!
