Riverfront Farmers’ Market Preview Day

BUY LOCAL AND SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY!

Head downtown to the Wilmington Riverfront Farmers’ Market this weekend. 

April 2nd will be a preview day and the official market opening day will be April 16th.

Why Buy Local?

• Local food is fresher and tastes better.  Food travels an average of 1300 miles before it reaches the supermarket.
• Buying local keeps your dollars circulating in your community.
• You’ll support endangered family farms.  Only 18 cents of every dollar, when buying food at the supermarket goes to the grower – 82 cents goes to various middlemen.  Cut out the middleman and put the  money directly in the pocket of your local growers.
• You’ll safeguard your family by knowing where your food comes from – meet the farmer and ask how it is grown or raised.
• It’s good for the environment – local food doesn’t travel far, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and packing materials.
• When you buy local food, you vote with your food dollar.
