Get your farmer's market this week and !
I had a great time at dlDaniel Farmstead Farmer's Market this past weekend. And the organizers could not have been more accommodating and helpful!
I'll be back there.August 16th for their polish festival!🇵🇱🇵🇱. It's one of their best events!
For nearly four centuries, farmers markets have been a cornerstone of preserving America’s rural livelihoods and farmland – and the Daniels Farmstead is proud to continue that tradition right here in Blackstone. 🧺
National Farmers Market Week runs from tomorrow, Sunday, August 2, through Saturday, August 8, celebrating the vital role farmers markets play in our nation's food system.
From the first-recorded farmers market in the United States – held in Boston in 1634 – to today, farmers markets have continued to evolve, grow in popularity, and support local agriculture and small business. Accessible, local produce encourages healthy communities, stimulates the economy, and promotes sustainable farming practices.
There are close to 10,000 farmers markets in the United States, and that number rises each year. It's the continued support of guests like you that keeps farmers markets alive, thriving, and growing. So far this year, your patronage of the Daniels Farmstead Farmers Market has championed more than 60 of our farmers and makers.
This week, and every week, don't forget to say "thank you" to your local farmers for their hard work in bringing farm-fresh goods to your table. 💚
Interested in supporting the Daniels Farmstead Farmers Market? Our markets run every Sunday through October 4, from 11 AM - 3 PM. Join us tomorrow for our weekly market, and first-ever Herbs and Spices Workshop.
Happy National Farmers Market Week!
