Franklin Regional Hospital (FRH) is excited to once again host a weekly Summer Farmer’s Market in collaboration with the Franklin Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Coalition.

Join local vendors on the lawn at FRH on Tuesday afternoons from 3 to 6 PM beginning Tuesday, July 7, to be held each Tuesday through the summer season. Encouraging healthy lifestyles of community residents is the focus of the market, and shoppers will get to enjoy locally-grown produce and other fresh local foods in an easily accessible location.

The market is now seeking applications from interested vendors. Ideal vendors will include local produce, meat, dairy, bread, and other food vendors such as local specialty items. There is no fee to participate as a vendor, and space is limited. Please call the number below for more information or a vendor application.

Eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources are essential to a healthy body and mind. Stop by Franklin Regional Hospital on Tuesday afternoons this summer for the freshest, most delicious local food!

For more information please call Melissa Lee in Education at 934-2060 ext. 8369.
