What we do at the market

Okra from Sandy Creek Farms

Our volunteers arrive early at the market to help farmers and vendors set up tables and unload their vehicles, and we stay late to help pack up the market at the end of the day.

Throughout the market, our volunteers are on hand to help customers carry their purchases to their vehicles. On Tuesdays, we give away seeds in partnership with the Dale County Extension Office.

Our volunteers also collect foot traffic data and help promote the market on social media.
