She said during the off-season period until May, they hold the Farmer’s Market every second Saturday. She said Parnell wants to get TVCC groups involved as vendors.

“He wanted to be sure that TVCC groups had access and wanted to participate in the market,” Warren said. “We are a make it or grow it yourself market. It is important to know where their food is coming from.”

She said she hopes to see a big crowd show up Saturday at the event.

“Come out and support local,” Warren said.
