This Week at the Market

Be sure to stop by the Canton Farmers Market this Sunday to pick up some healthy back to school lunch and dinner options. Stock up on some of your market favorites, such as: baked goods, cheeses, fresh produce and other items you've grown to love. Why buy locally grown items? They're generally fresher, tastier and more nutritious. Plus, it's good for our local economy.
