Farmers Markers = Public Health


Every Thursday evening until October 25th, there is a farmers market at the Lavell Edwards Stadium. Farmers markets are public health because they promote and encourage good nutrition in the community. Our country struggles with good nutrition and a large portion of our population suffer from many chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease because of  poor nutrition. By organizing farmers markets, communities give residents easy access to good nutrition.
