Come out to the site of the new Warren County Farmers Market on Thursday, Dec. 18 at 2 p.m. for a groundbreaking ceremony, which county leaders say marks a major step forward in supporting local growers, strengthening agritourism, and expanding economic opportunities for residents and visitors.
The ceremony will be held at 429 W. Ridgeway St in Warrenton.
“Warren County is experiencing a remarkable season of momentum,” said Warren County Manager Crystal Smith. “This new farmers’ market will create a hub for local commerce, community events, and agricultural education. We are grateful for the support of our state partners, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone with the people who call Warren County home.”
The project, made possible through major investments from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission and the North Carolina Department of Commerce, brings together local and state commitment to rural economic development. The new market will play a pivotal role in Warren County’s growth, leaders say, that will help to ensure local farmers have a vibrant, modern space to market their goods and that families have a welcoming, community-centered destination to shop, gather, and enjoy Warren County’s agricultural heritage.
The new facility will feature covered vendor areas, enhanced parking and accessibility, and space designed to accommodate future events and programs that support local businesses and promote healthy food choices for all residents.
Community members, local farmers, business owners, and regional partners are invited to join in and stay for a while as Warren County breaks ground on a project that celebrates its agricultural heritage while planting seeds for future economic growth.
