Why Markets Matter
I have come to the Mobile Farmers Market since day one. Since shopping for fresh vegetables, my doctor has taken me off 3 of my medications.

Without Red Stick Farmers Market, starting a farming operation would have been next to impossible. The Market gives us access to informed consumers dedicated to supporting local agriculture.

We love the Red Stick Sprouts program because it teaches kids how to eat healthy. I want them to ask for fresh fruits and vegetables at home.
