Produce Purchase Guarantee
The Franklin Farm Hub has generously partnered with the Macon County Farmers Market to provide a Produce Purchase Guarantee for our produce vendors. For the duration of the 2026 Market Season, the foundation will purchase up to $100 worth of perishable produce from each produce vendor when the market closes each Saturday. The purchased produce will be donated to local food banks to feed food-insecure families in our county. The Macon County Farmers Market is grateful to this local foundation for its support of both our Market Vendors and our local food banks!
