Your National Farmers Market Week Shopping Guide
National Farmers Market Week (August 2 – 8) is an annual celebration of the people who grow, raise, bake, brew, and create the food that brings our communities together. Right now, FRESHFARM markets are filled with the very best of the season, making it easy to get delicious groceries while supporting the regional farmers and food businesses in our community.
To celebrate, our farmers and producers are offering specials and highlighting seasonal products throughout the week. In addition to fresh produce, you can find locally raised meats, seafood, cheeses, eggs, artisan breads, baked goods, honey, coffee, pantry staples, flowers, and prepared foods. You can even pick thoughtful hostess gifts like handcrafted soaps and teas, all in one trip.
Plus, FRESHFARM is doubling loyalty stamps for all Summer Traveler program participants from Monday, August 3 to Sunday, August 9. And if you’re a Rosslyn market shopper, you can snag a reusable market bag this week with market coupons inside (while supplies last).
