[Durham INC] Durham Roots Farmers' Market at Brightleaf Square!

[Will Wilson]

The Roots Farmers' Market is excited to announce that we're moving to 
the historic Brightleaf Square for its fourth market season! Our 
Saturday market at Brightleaf, located at W Main and Gregson Streets, 
runs from April 6th to November 23rd between 9am and noon. Tents will be 
set up within the Square and the W. Peabody St. parking lot.

Durham County's Farmland Preservation Board started this market because 
preserving Durham County's farms requires providing more opportunities 
for Durham County farmers and horticulturalists to sell their products. 
Although our focus is on Durham County agricultural producers, we 
heartily welcome small and beginning farmers from Orange, Person, and 
Granville counties to encourage our next generation of regional producers.

Confirmed produce vendors include Dandies, Toad Hill, Red Bird, and 
Chickpea Farms, and protein vendors Caywood, Family Farmstead, and Eight 
Arrows. Produce availability in the early weeks are, of course, subject 
to Spring growing conditions.

The market seeks volunteers for a variety of needs, including market 
hosting, social media, and outreach. Contact us at 
durhamrootsfm at gmail.com. Producers interested in becoming vendors can 
find our 2019 rules and application at durhamroots.org (we don't accept 
craft vendors).
