Farmers Market organizers grateful for community support
By Canton CitizenDear Editor:
Thank you to the Canton community for all your support to help make our 2022 market season a great success! From the volunteer crew to our sponsors, customers, community groups, and of course, our vendors, it was a true collaborative effort.
We had more than 14,000 visitors to the market this year, and even more if you count all the kids and dogs! We welcomed more than 50 vendors throughout the season, danced to live music every week, listened to the Canton librarians read stories, created beautiful art in the Seedling Corner, had more than 20 community groups attend, and organized some amazing special events — Back to School Day, Youth Entrepreneurs Day, Farm Education Day, Bike Safety Day and Dog Day. We went out on a high note with our Fall Fest!
We enjoy being part of this community and strive to create a space where all feel welcome.
We will miss seeing your smiling faces and arms full of produce walking across the lawn each week. If you loved the Canton Farmers Market and want to know what can you do to support us until we see you again next June:
* Find all of our vendors, including some of the youth entrepreneurs, linked to our website at cantonfarmersmarket.org/our-vendors to keep shopping local all winter!
* Plan to join our volunteer crew! Look for the sign-up in March/April.
* Join our newsletter and follow us on social media @cantonfarmersmarket02021.
We are currently seeking sponsors for next year’s market. Our market simply would not exist without sponsor support to help get the tents on the ground every week. Please consider sponsoring this community event — go to cantonfarmersmarket.org/get-involved.
Please email cantonfarmersmarket02021@gmail.com if you have any questions, ideas or comments.
Thank you all for your continued support!
