Join the Lexington Farmers' Market in celebrating healthy and sustainable living and how it applies to what we eat, the environment, and personal well-being. You'll have a chance to connect with local organizations to learn what's being done in the local community, and take away some practical changes that can be applied in everyday life. Learn about curbside composting, The Lexington Energy Challenge, the importance of bees, energy conservation and alternative solutions, climate action plans, and more. We'll have sustainability-themed activities for kids, live music, and of course, lots of local, delicious food from the LFM's farmers and vendors!
Additionally, Tuesday, July 9 is also Bike to Market Week! Ride your bike to the market and visit Friends of Lexington Bikeways to receive a $2 coupon - good with any farm or food vendor!
