DECATUR, Miss. (WTOK) – The Newton County FFA held a farmer’s market this morning, inviting everyone from around Newton County to come and shop local.
The market had a wide selection of fresh produce, plants, baked goods, and even some laying hens.
Eric Johannsen with the Red Goat General Store said events like this help bring the community together and get people to come out and shop locally.
“It’s just a good community event for everybody to come out and visit with one another, whether it’s the shoppers visiting with each other, or the vendors and shoppers. It’s on the grounds of the schools, put on by the FFA. So, it helps the school and FFA, and it helps us small businesses like mine, the Red Goat General Store, it helps bring notoriety and awareness of my brand and what we carry,” said Johannsen.
The FFA will host another farmer’s market on July 10th from 4pm until 8pm.
