City of Valdosta Pr 24 April 2014,

Downtown Valdosta Welcomes Back Farm Days,

On market Saturdays, vendors offer a variety of goods for sale such
as locally-grown, locally-raised, locally-produced fruits and
vegetables, plants, herbs, meats, farm-fresh eggs and dairy
products, organic produce, baked and prepared foods, snacks and
coffee. Patrons will also find a variety of artisan and natural
products including products made from recycled goods, birdhouses,
handmade soaps and body products, candles, and honey products. Those
who arrive early to shop have the advantage of beating the heat and
getting the best picks of the season.

The market also serves as a venue to educate the community on
healthy local options. Cooking demonstrations and information
promoting healthy eating habits are available on site for market
patrons and emphasize the correlation between food choices and the
impact they have on the general health and environment. In addition,
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants can
use their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards to purchase goods.

New vendors are always welcome, as well as the diverse mix of
returning vendors. Contact the Valdosta Main Street office at (229)
259-3577 or ehill@valdostacity.com. Potential vendors may also visit

www.valdostamainstreet.com
to obtain a vendor packet and register for the market.
