Consider the Farmers' Market this giving season...

Some of our work at the farmers' market involves cooking demos and community outreach. We've visited Catawba College, the Master Gardeners association and Southeast Middle School among other places to talk about the benefits of local food. If you'd like to support this work, you can make a donation through our partner, Bread Riot. Donate halfway down the page and add a "Comment" including the words "Farmers Market".
