Help Us Bring Back the Farmers Market in 2024!
This year-end, we aim to raise $15,000 so that we can bring the Woodfords Corner Market back for the 2024 season! The Farmers Market was a huge lift for FWC, beginning back in late 2022 when we began conceptualizing what the market could be. Just like with any startup effort, the first season of the market required a huge investment of time and resources from our board and volunteers. To make the Farmers Market a sustainable and even more impactful program we need your support! Make a year-end gift today to help bring back the market next spring!
