The objective of Farmers' Market are to:
- Link farmers directly to consumers

Now, you may be asking, what are the benefits we are going to receive. Well, you will be entitled to fresher, more wholesome produce, clean surroundings (and I know you love clean surroundings), parking and security. Impressed and happy, are you not.
Ok, so we are getting all these benefits but am I going to find what I'm looking for at a Farmes Market? Well, once your looking for fresh, wholesome produce, you will definitely find what you seek. There are:
