The initiative may be new, but as ABD has reported recently the love for homegrown fruits and veggies is almost an addiction for Southerners. We’ve seen farms expand into the CSRA in the past couple of weeks and local restaurants are taking advantage of their produce to offer farm-to-table meals.
Today, there is another way to take advantage of that fresh goodness as the S.T.O.P. Mobile Farmers Market pulls into the South Augusta Farmers Market at 4104 Windsor Springs Road. They will be there from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm with other visits around town planned for the next three Fridays.
The mobile market is designed to connect local farmers with new customers, reduce food waste, and make farm-fresh produce available throughout the CSRA.
“The S.T.O.P. is more than just a place to buy food; it’s a way to build community and ensure everyone has access to nutritious meals. We want our residents to feel connected to their food sources and to each other. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to health and wellness, “according to C. Joy Brown, South Augusta Farmers Market.
As a bonus, the mobile market will also offer ready-to-eat meals and meal preps.
