Farmers Markets

Discover You CanSM...at Farmers Markets!

This summer, 30 Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) member farmers markets across the US will be sharing the benefits of home canning with members of their community through the Discover You CanSM Program. This program will help illustrate the 3 simple steps of home canning through demonstrations in local markets. In addition, the program provides coupons and samples to help everyone get started turning fresh, locally grown favorites into delicious food in a jar for enjoyment all year long!

The benefits of home canning are plentiful, from capturing the flavor of fresh vine-ripened tomatoes for enjoyment in the winter to creating foods while controlling the ingredients in every jar – you know exactly what your family is consuming. Canning is also a great way to support the local foods movement by purchasing locally grown food while it is fresh in-season and capturing that freshness in a jar for use all year round.

Below is a list of the FMC member farmers markets that are participating in our Summer 2012 Discover You CanSM program. Show your support by visiting the market nearest you:
