A “Food Farmacy” event is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 7 outside Perry Memorial Library, showcasing local produce and producers while promoting health and wellness in rural areas through good nutrition.
The event is funded through a grant from Duke University’s Kenan Institute of Ethics and will feature local community vendors, according to information from Darius Pitt, with Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Dept.
Among the organizations that will be present are The Black Farmers Market and Slice 325. There will be a range of goods and produce, “hand-picked, packed and presented to you,” the publicity flyer notes.
Shop and learn between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. at the free event. The library is located at 205 Breckenridge St.
