Homegrown Alabama Farmers Market

Description

One of the great reasons to shop at a farmers market is to know the person who planted, tended and harvested your food. Our goal at Homegrown Alabama is to facilitate relationships between local growers and the community they feed--which is to say, us. This seems important in an era when, as Virginia farmer Joel Salatin has observed, we put more energy into choosing who will fix our cars than who will grow our food.

We at Homegrown Alabama want to know that what we put on our plates is being grown in ways to improve the health of the soil, so animals and plants can continue to be productive for our grandchildren's grandchildren. We want to eat fruits and vegetables in season because they're fresher, healthier and far tastier, and the variety keeps eating interesting. We want to know where our food is coming from, and we want you to know, too.

The weekly summer farmers market begins the first or second Thursday in May and continues thru October, every Thursday from 3-6 p.m. The market is located at Canterbury Chapel on Hackberry Lane between Bryant Drive and University Blvd.
