Farmers Market Month
August 2008


Eat Local for a Day
- the Certified SC Grown Way!


Governor Mark Sanford has proclaimed the month of August as Farmers Market Month in South Carolina. This is an extension of National Farmers Market Week, August 3-9, 2008. Along with other governors and commissioners of agriculture in other states, we are taking this opportunity in a nationwide “eat local” effort to draw attention to our committed farmers who provide us with safe, fresh, abundant food. “Eat Local for a Day - the Certified South Carolina Way” during Farmers Market Week. Look for the Certified SC logo. If you don’t see it, ask for it, because ‘Nothing’s fresher. Nothing’s finer.’
