Martin, Tenn.— The Martin Area Farmers Market is proud to join farmers markets nationwide in celebrating National Farmers Market Week, from August 3-9. This annual event highlights the essential role farmers markets play in supporting local agriculture, strengthening community connections, and increasing access to fresh, healthy food.
On Saturday, August 9, there will be a Back to School event at the market. The UT Federal Credit Union will be sponsoring breakfast for the seasonal vendors. Other activities include a bouncy house for children, live music by Jordan Skoda, and a nonperishable food drive for the Weakley County Schools Food Pantry who serve families with students in need of food.
National Farmers Market Week, designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, celebrates the impact of markets nationwide: generating revenue for farmers, providing fresh food access, and fostering resilient local food systems.
