Hope we'll see you this weekend for Fall Fest Day 🍁

This weekend's Growers Day at the Red River Market was brought to you by a partnership between NSF ENGINES: North Dakota Advanced Agriculture Technology Engine and Grand Farm! The Red River Market is proud to create a platform for ND MN growers to share their local produce with the community. Our growers exist at the heart of the market- it can take a full year of planning from market farmers to reach the final product that is the produce in your homes. Grateful for partners who believe in the power of agriculture, local food, and community. You can learn more about each of their organizations here- FARMS: https://lnkd.in/gYTKwMAP Grand Farm: https://grandfarm.com/

This weekend's Red River Market was brought to you by a very special partner of Folkways- the Livewire Team! They are an essential aspect to making every single one of our events happen. They help us: - Navigate the intricacies of powering all of our hot food vendors. - Make our 150 annual performing groups sound just stellar. - Work right alongside us for every set-up and tear-down. So much more... We're grateful to them for helping us make this world class experience happen every week- we're pretty lucky to have this level of execution here in Fargo. Cheers to the Livewire team!
