As summer markets continue to draw residents and visitors across the Sequatchie Valley, local farms are showcasing the region’s agricultural heritage and homemade specialties. Peto Farm is among the vendors bringing fresh, locally-sourced products to community gathering spaces this season.

📍 What’s Happening This Saturday

Peto Farm will be featured as the vendor spotlight at the Dunlap Farmers Market this Saturday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CST at Harris Park. 🌾 The farm will offer local honey, freeze-dried candy, and other farm-fresh items.

❤️ Why This Matters for the Community

Farmers markets serve as more than just shopping destinations—they’re gathering places where residents connect with the people who grow and produce their food. 🛒 Supporting local farms strengthens the regional food system, keeps money circulating within the community, and helps small agricultural businesses remain viable. For families looking for fresh, locally-made alternatives to mass-produced goods, these markets offer direct access to producers who can answer questions about how items are made and where ingredients come from.

🤝 Community Connections

The Dunlap Farmers Market itself is a community institution—a regular gathering that brings together producers, shoppers, and neighbors. 🏘️ By featuring vendors like Peto Farm, the market highlights the network of local agricultural producers who depend on consistent foot traffic and community support. Harris Park, where the market is held, serves as a central meeting point for the area, making it accessible to residents throughout the region.
