Consumers Asked To Show Some Love For Their Farmers Market This Summer
The Rohnert Park Farmers Market is open Fridays and the Cotati Farmers Market is open Thursdays. Both return this week for 2013.
A non-profit organization is asking consumers to support their local farmers market this summer by pledging to shop there.
American Farmland Trust has kicked off its I Love My Farmers Market campaign for 2013. It's the fifth consecutive year for the summertime program.
The trust is asking consumers to pledge to spend $10 during one week of the summer at their local farmers market. They hope to raise $1 million to help local farms by the time the campaign ends on Sept. 9.
Do you shop at farmers markets? Do you plan to participate in the summer campaign? Let us know in the comments.
The Rohnert Park Farmers Market is open from 5-8 p.m. Fridays in the library parking lot and City Center Plaza. The market returns June 7 for 2013 and runs through the end of August.
The Cotati Farmers Market opens June 6 and runs from 4:30-7:30 p.m. Thursdays at La Plaza Park at W. Sierra and Old Redwood Highway.
