Dear Prince George Citizen, thank you very much for your coverage of the Prince George Farmers' Market's opening of the outdoor season.
As a non-profit organization, our advertising and promotion budget is slim and coverage by local media is very much appreciated. The vast majority of our vendors are small producers, live on a fixed income, or depend on a second income by growing, baking, or making wares they sell at the Prince George Farmers' Market. The introduction of the year round market has made it possible for a number of vendors to extend the five-month season by an additional seven months to a year-round opportunity to serve the community with local foods or products.
While the market provides a venue for the individual vendors, it is, at the same time, a place for local artists to perform, for local restaurants to demonstrate food preparation, for the community to shop for local products and interact with the vendors and, not the least of all, the Prince George Farmers' Market provides a meeting place to chat with friends.
Coverage by the local media helps to keep the fabric of this community - of which the Prince George Farmers' Market is a proud member - strong and growing.
Thank you for your support!
Roman Muntener, Director
Prince George Farmers' Market
