Youth Farmer Day

  • Thomasville Farmers Market 21 E Guilford St Thomasville, NC, 27360 United States (map)

The farmers market provides a safe space for entrepreneurs to showcase their business ideas. In addition to our usual artisans and crafts this Saturday, we will be celebrating our youth farmers.

Did you know we have several young farmers who started their farm business by selling at the Thomasville Farmers Market?
We are so lucky to have our younger farmers such as H & A Farms, Hayworth Farms, Rierson Farms and Klymer Ridge Farms start their businesses here at Thomasville Farmers Market.

According to the 2022 Census of Agriculture, the average age of US farmer is 58.1, 0.6 years older than in the 2017 Census and 9.4 years older than in the 1945 Census. We need more farmers and we are so happy to see younger faces becoming involved in agriculture.

Your support helps us to make our local food economy stronger.
Come on out to support our young farmers.

SPECIAL FUNDRAISER: We will have Future Farmers of America (East Davidson High School) students who will be hosting a fundraising bake sale for their agriculture program in high school.
