An old-time good time. Healthy, too.
Farmers markets have a long history, tracing back to ancient times and evolving over centuries. At first, they served as vital hubs for food distribution and social interaction. With the rise of supermarkets and convenience foods, their popularity declined.
But in recent years, markets have enjoyed a resurgence thanks to consumer interest in fresh, local produce with its great nutrition and taste. Then there was this thing called Covid that encouraged outdoor socializing in a fresh-air environment while shopping for healthy food.
So join us at the Farmington Farmers Market this Saturday as we celebrate National Farmers Market Day. At our 19th annual Market/Elks Corn Roast, enjoy an ear of our farmers’ fresh corn grilled to perfection. Take in a performance by budding ballerinas from the Mid American Studio in Farmington Hills. And even say thanks to a farmer or vendor or volunteer. The Market wouldn’t be here without them – or you, either, for that matter.
Thanks.
