Fayette celebrated Tomato Sandwich Day by giving out free tomato sandwiches on July 12 during the hours of the Fayette Farmers Market.
The new Fayette Farmers’ Market will have the Grand Opening of its 2002 market season on Tuesday, June 7, from 4 - 6 p.m. This year’s market will be held outside the former Train Depot (Fayette Historical Museum), located at 202 South Temple Avenue in downtown Fayette.
Several farmers are offering for sale locally-grown, harvest-fresh produce at the Fayette Farmers’ Market, located near the Fayette County Multipurpose Complex on McConnell Loop Road in Fayette. Ronni Rena Brasher, Fayette County Extension Coordinator, said that the local farmers have produced a bumper crop of fresh vegetables this year that are offered for sale each Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. at the Fayette County Farmers’ Market.
The Fayette Farmers’ Market provides a means for local citizens to obtain quality, fresh produce from local farmers at a reasonable cost. One of the farmers that has participated in growing produce for sale at the Farmers’ Market is Gathon Moore. He said that once he retired 20 years ago, he and his wife Odessa started growing fresh produce to sell to the public.
