Our Old Gregg School Winter Farmers Market, located in the quaint town of Spring Mills, offers freshness, high quality, reasonable prices, and convenience.
Having an indoor winter farmers market allows Centre County residents to help support our local farmers year-round, as they provide us with wonderful foods all grown, raised, or made close to our homes with such care and dedication
Remember to "Buy Fresh, Buy Local"
This year, plan to spend more of your grocery money on local foods, eat a wholesome Farmers Market Dinner once a week (or more) and make it a goal to go visit at least one farm where your food is raised in 2011 - 2012.
Make your food purchases extra meaningful this year by shopping locally.
Why?
Here are just a few good reasons:
Do double good! For the health of your family, as well as of your local economy.
One of a kind. Our local artisans and producers will never stop surprising you with their creativity!
Get less for your dollar. When you buy local, you're leaving out the extra carbon ... but who needs that?
