NCDA&CS Marketing Division - Triad Farmers Market

PROMOTIONAL EVENTS 2010

The Piedmont Triad Farmers Market is located in the center of a thriving metropolitan area.

We have found that a great number of people do not know very much about how produce is grown, or they do not know that there are several varieties of each commodity. To help introduce more people to the market, and to the farmers who actually farm for a living, we have several promotions during the year to bring attention to fresh fruits and vegetables that are "in season". Here is a list of activities planned for the next few months.
