SDSPA plays a crucial role in supporting the local farmers market industry through the S.D. Farmers Market Coalition. This chapter offers networking opportunities and educational programs while providing full access to resources from the Farmers Market Coalition (FMC).
Farmers markets significantly impact community well-being by providing 15-20 social interactions, making nutritious food accessible to residents in areas with limited grocery store access. Patrons also support small businesses by shopping at these markets.
Celebrate National Farmers Market Week 2023 and show your support for local communities and economies by attending a nearby farmers market. Enjoy the diverse selection of fresh, locally grown produce and the vibrant atmosphere of these community-driven gatherings.
