Alabama NewsCenter — Support farmers on Sweet Grown Alabama Day July 23

By Donna Cope

Celebrate all the goodness of summertime fruit and vegetables – and the hard-working farmers who grow them – at Sweet Grown Alabama (SGA) Day on July 23.

Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries Rick Pate is encouraging shoppers to visit their local farmers market and support local growers. It is a good idea, Pate noted, considering the supply-side issues the U.S. faces.

From Cullman to Foley, several farmers markets on Saturday will host Sweet Grown Alabama representatives who will share the importance of buying locally grown products. They will also provide resources for finding farmers across the state.
