We couldn't have said it better! 😍

🍅🥕🌽 Happy National Farmers Market Week! 🌽🥕🍅 This week celebrates the hardworking farmers, producers and vendors that make Alabama farmers markets so special! Alabama is home to more than 170 farmers markets, connecting thousands of people each year with fresh, locally grown products from across the state.

We encourage everyone to visit a local market this week, meet the farmers that put food on your table and, most importantly, take a moment to thank those who make it all possible.
