Westmoreland Summer Farmers Market Opens This Weekend – AG Matters

The weather may not be indicating it's spring, let alone summer; but the opening of Farmer's Markets tells us otherwise.  The Westmoreland Summer Farmers Market will open this weekend.   Cornell Cooperative Extension, 

It opens this Sunday, June 7th from 9 to 1 in the parking lot of Seymour’s Dine and Grill on Route 233 in Westmoreland. In addition to fresh produce and baked goodies, the market features the Power of Produce Kids Club.

This program invites children to learn more about some of their favorite foods. Participating in events like planting sunflower seeds or making jam gives the youngsters a chance to better understand where their food comes from. By receiving $2 to spend on fresh produce every time they visit the market to keeping a log of what they buy, the children become immersed in a world of healthy eating.

The first 100 children ages 4-12 years old will receive a back pack style duffle bag to keep and bring to the market each week and the $2 token.  For more information about the Westmoreland Summer Farmers Market, email sales@oldgoatfoods.com
