Event Details
Columbia, S.C. — The Fairfield Farmers and Artisans Market and Fairfield County Council on Aging is launching its first “Lunch at the Market” event in Winnsboro, South Carolina.
Lunch at the Market is an opportunity for older adults and community patrons to shop for farm fresh food, engage in conversation, meet neighbors for lunch, and enjoy the festive atmosphere with family and friends. The concept was born out of the collaborative efforts of the South Carolina Association of Farmers Markets, South Carolina Department on Aging, South Carolina Department of Agriculture, and the South Carolina Department of Social Services.
The event will take place July 31, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fairfield Farmers and Artisans Market, located at 117 East Washington Street, Winnsboro, SC 29180. The event is open to all community members.
Purposes of the event include:
- Increase awareness and use of community markets
- Provide low-income seniors with access to locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey and herbs.
- Equip participants with nutrition education opportunities
- Provide an opportunity for patrons to redeem their Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program Vouchers, SNAP, and Healthy Bucks tokens at participating markets.
Attendees can purchase locally grown fresh vegetables, locally raised meats, and handmade crafts.
Interested vendors may contact Jamie Vaine, Fairfield Farmers and Artisans Market Manager 803-917-7894 or farmersandartisans@yahoo.com
