National Farmers Market Week set for Aug. 5-12

Posted: Updated:

United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has proclaimed Aug. 5-12 as National Farmers Market Week.

This provides a great opportunity to visit the Putnam Farmers Market in Hurricane and thank local farmers.

The Putnam Farmers' Market was relocated to the city park to be closer to residents.

The market gets fresh vegetables from local farms around the area.

The market lets farmers retain a higher portion of food by selling them directly to the customer.

The market is open on Tuesdays from 3:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.
