West Willow Farmers Market Launches its First Farmers Market on June 18, 2022
Washtenaw County, Mich, from June 18 - October 8, 2022. Farmer markets are an integral part of the urban/farm linkage and have continued to rise in popularity, mostly due to the growing consumer interest in obtaining fresh products directly from the farm. The West Willow Farmers Market allows consumers to have access to locally grown, farm fresh produce.
"We are hoping to add vendors to the market so we can provide a nice selection of goods. The number of vendors usually increases as the growing season progresses," said Joshua McAllister, Market Manager. Customers can expect to find farm fresh produce, baked goods, meats, honey, plants, and other items." states T. Collins, Assistant Market Manager.
Direct marketing of produce and products through farmer’s markets continues to be an important sales outlet for agricultural producers nationwide. Food in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles to get to the kitchen table. All this shipping uses large amounts of natural resources (especially fossil fuels), contributes greatly to pollution, and creates excess trash with extra packaging. Reducing the milage on our food also leaves communities with fresher, more nutritionally dense foods, with superior quality in taste as well. Farmer’s markets make that possible. Today, there are nearly 4,800 farmer’s markets operating throughout the nation.
