St Peters, March 6, 2025 – Day by day we continue to give gratitude and appreciation for the seed, sun, rain, nature and the community members that continue to support SMFC’s Farmers Market at the St Peters Rupert Maynard Community Youth Center.
This week we are grateful to harvest over 800+ pounds (400kg+) of produce from our farming project and partners in St Kitts. This strategic partnership continues to reap its rewards and serve its purpose by means of delivering healthier quality food at affordable cost directly to our community members and networking supermarkets.
The long term goal and aim is to ensure that prices for quality produce and goods can at all times remain at an equilibrium standard cost. This, Simply means that cost of goods and fresh produce will remain at a balance price at the market for as long as we can despite economical challenges and inflated prices. From here we can only hope it gets better based on the increase of production and cost for transporting goods.
As we continue to express how grateful we are, there is no other way to do so than to give back to those who have continuously supported us from the start. This Saturday we will be giving away a box of carrots divided amounts community members supporting the farmers market.. So get there early, as the early bird always gets the worm..
