The City of High Springs sponsored a workshop on Thursday, May 18, to ask citizens, farmers, and vendors for input on the High Springs Farmers Market, 23517 N.W. 185th Road. Approximately 35 people attended the meeting to share their ideas on ways in which the farmers’ market might best address the needs of the community.
Sharon Yeago, the originator of the market, was on hand along with the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Manager Amy Bohannon and City Manager Ashley Stathatos.
Yeago addressed ways in which farmers’ markets work throughout Florida and asked for input from attendees, which were then listed on various large paper sheets displayed around the room for review. Ultimately, workshop attendees identified some items they believed were important to the City and the market.
