Sweet Grown Alabama, the state’s non-profit agricultural branding program, will celebrate all things locally grown for “Sweet Grown Alabama Day” on Saturday, July 22.
Participating in Sweet Grown Alabama Day is simple — do at least one activity that supports an Alabama farmer. Consumers can make a purchase from their local farmer, cook a meal made with local ingredients, pick Alabama grown flowers, eat at a restaurant that serves locally grown products, visit a local farmers market and more.
Farmers markets across Alabama will host their own “Sweet Grown Alabama Day” event at their market on July 22. Alabamians from Huntsville to Foley will be able to purchase locally grown products and connect with farmers in their surrounding areas.
Consumers who are not located near one of the participating markets are still encouraged to purchase goodies from a local farmer, cook a meal made with local ingredients, visit an agritourism operation, eat at a restaurant that serves locally grown products, or visit their local farmers market to support local farmers on July 22.
