10 Great Reasons to Shop by Millville’s Fresh Fest and Farm Market
If you haven’t been to Millville’s Fresh Fest and Farm Market this season, it’s not too late. You can still shop for local produce, plants and more at the Fresh Fest and Farm Market on Saturday, September 22, 2018, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Village on High, 501 North High Street in Millville. You can also enjoy live music, a healthy food demo sponsored by Wildflower Vegan Cafe, and rock painting for all ages.
From savoring produce at the peak of freshness to meeting the people who grow your food, there are countless reasons to support Farm Markets. In fact, if David Letterman had ever done a Late Show Top 10 on the subject, it might look something like this:
- Taste Real Flavors – These are the freshest fruits and vegetables around.
- Enjoy the Season – Farm Markets always stock the best seasonal fruit and vegetables.
- Support Family Farmers – A lot of family farmers have a hard time competing in the food marketplace, and this is a great way to show your support.
- Protect the Environment – Most foods travel 1,500 miles to make it to your plate, contributing to trucking pollution and extra trash from packing; local Farm Market products come right from the farm to you.
