Hello to all our loyal customers and supporters!
We are excited to announce that the main season at the Floyd Farmers Market is now open! Starting this week, we will be open on Thursdays from 4 pm to 7 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm.
Our market is proud to provide the community with locally-grown, fresh produce and artisanal products. This year, we are excited to welcome back some of our favorite vendors as well as introduce some new faces to the market.
You can expect to find a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, honey, homemade baked goods, handmade crafts, and much more at the market. We believe that shopping locally is the best way to get fresh, high-quality, and unique products.
We encourage you to come out and support our local farmers and vendors. Shopping at the Floyd Farmers Market helps to support our local economy and is a great way to meet your neighbors and friends.
We want to remind everyone that we take every necessary precaution to ensure the safety of our customers and vendors. Our team will be monitoring the market to ensure that all vendors are adhering to our safety protocols.
Thank you for your continued support of the Floyd Farmers Market. We look forward to seeing you at the market soon!
