WayGreen will host its first-ever nighttime Local Fare Market from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, July 3, at WayGreen House, 1929 Ben Hill Avenue, Waycross.
The evening market will bring together local farmers, food producers, artisans and community partners for a special after-hours shopping experience at WayGreen’s headquarters. Organizers say the event is designed to celebrate local food, family fun and community connection in a festive nighttime setting.
This special market is being held in celebration of Georgia Grown and the Georgia Department of Education’s “Meet Me At The Market” campaign. Guests can visit a special Georgia Grown booth featuring unique Georgia Grown products curated for the event.
Visitors are encouraged to come hungry and enjoy unique dishes from the kitchen of Chef Matthew Raiford, who will be on site during the event. The evening will also feature music by Chris Brown.
Children and families can enjoy a fun hands-on activity, “Try a Pickle, Make a Pickle,” along with other family-friendly market experiences.
Featured vendors for the July 3 market include: Backyard Alchemist, Backwood Botanicals, Coastal Aurora, Crochet By TP, 5 Oaks Farm, Hall’s Homestead and Garden, Happy Hollow Farm, McCarthy Bodywork, Merritt Soapery, Morning Mercies, Mr. Ricky’s Beef Jerky, Rooney’s Dog Treats & Snacks, Silas Allen Farm, Simply Sweet Talk, The Grain Gal, and Ware Children’s Initiative.
WayGreen also reminds the community that SNAP/EBT is accepted, and benefits for fresh fruits and vegetables are doubled up to $50, helping make local food more accessible for families.
The Local Fare Market is open to the public, and everyone is invited to attend, shop local and enjoy an evening of food, music and community.
