About the Market
Background
The Woodland Farmers Market operates seasonally with the aim of providing the freshest produce possible to the community. It is unique in that it is composed entirely of local farmers and vendors, ensuring that no vendor travels more than an hour to participate. This close-knit approach fosters a direct connection between consumers and the people who grow their food.
Practices
Vendors at the Woodland Farmers Market are primarily the growers of the produce they sell, allowing customers to engage directly with the farmers. This practice not only ensures transparency in food sourcing but also enhances the trust and quality of the produce available. The market emphasizes the importance of knowing where food comes from, especially in light of frequent food contamination reports.
The Rest
The market operates at two locations to maximize accessibility for the community: on Main St. from May to September and at Woodland Healthcare from June to August. The organizers believe that the superior taste of fresh, locally grown produce will encourage more people to incorporate it into their diets.
