Welcome to another exciting episode of The Backyard Naturalists podcast! The show about anything and everything connected with nature. In this week's episode, Debbie and Laurie sit down with Leslie Lee, the Market Manager for the Anson County Farmer's Market in Wadesboro, NC.

 

Located on Highway 52 South, the Anson County Farmer's Market has emerged with renewed vigor in a post-COVID world. With twenty-seven vendors participating last week, this vibrant market owes its success to the dedicated farmers, craftsmen, and bakers who bring their goods to share with the community.

 

Leslie is particularly impressed by the active involvement of the younger generation, including children, who enthusiastically interact with customers.

 

Don't forget to check out the Anson County Farmer's Market on Facebook for updates and highlights from this incredible community-driven initiative. Join us as we delve into the fascinating stories behind this bustling marketplace and explore the intricate connections between people and nature.

 

If you have ideas for topics that you'd like us to pursue, send us a message either on our Facebook page or our website. We would really like to hear from you.
