Aiming to offer a bigger selection of fresh and affordable produce to local residents, the seasonal market will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Thursday through October.
A total of six local vendors will offer fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, breads, eggs, truffle products, home baked goods, handmade soaps and more. Confirmed vendors include:
- Do Re Me Farms
- West Cork Farm
- General Cochran Farm
- Sharamel
- Nelson Truffles
- Mind, Body & Bath
This farmers market is one of just a handful throughout Putnam County. It is intended to encourage nutritional eating habits that can contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases. The farmers market will also provide nutritional tips, recipes and demonstrations throughout the season.
The market is located around the flagpole toward the hospital’s front entrance.
“We are so pleased to bring fresh produce and specialty items from the region’s local farms to our community,” said Putnam Hospital Center President Peter Kelly. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the residents of Putnam County and beyond to visit our campus and have access to wholesome and nutritious food.”
