Support Local Farmers & Fight Food Insecurity
With the vibrant hues of spring blossoming and the promise of summer warmth on the horizon, now is the perfect time to embrace the richness of our local farmers’ markets. Imagine supporting your community’s hardworking farmers and contributing to vital food relief efforts, all within a single, fulfilling visit. This is the opportunity presented by the Donation Station Program, a collaborative effort spearheaded by N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center.
We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Donation Station Program, partnering with three of Forsyth County’s treasured farmers’ markets:
Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Farmers Market – Monthly Saturday schedule varies, April 5, May 3, June 28, July 26, August 23, and September 20, 7 a.m. to 12 Noon.
Clemmons Farmers Market – The second Saturday of every month from May through September – 8 a.m. to 12 Noon.
Cobblestone Farmers Market – Every Saturday beginning in May through September – 8:30 a.m. to 12 Noon.
About the Donation Station Program
It’s a simple yet powerful initiative designed to increase access to fresh, locally grown food while simultaneously supporting the farmers who cultivate it. Volunteers stationed at the markets collect food donations from shoppers, directly from their farmers’ market purchases. These donations are then gathered and distributed to local relief centers, ensuring that nutrient-rich produce reaches those facing food insecurity.
The impact is profound, particularly for families struggling to access essential, healthy foods. By participating, you’re directly contributing to a more resilient and nourished community. N.C. Cooperative Extension passionately encourages your support for our local farmers, farmers’ markets, and food pantries across Forsyth County. This marks the second year of the Donation Station Program, and we’re delighted to see our goal of expanding it to Forsyth County’s top three farmers markets realized.
