Please keep our neighbors in western NC and eastern TN in your thoughts as they navigate this horrible weather event. It could have easily been us. Mother Nature is angry. We need to try to be better people. If you are able, chose a verified organization to donate any help you can. 🙏
This is eastern Tennessee at the NC line 😔

We are delighted to announce a new sponsorship from Central Carolina Hospital for the market’s “Art Meets Ag” event series once we are located in the Sanford Agricultural Marketplace!

Central Carolina Hospital will be the presenting sponsor of the market’s event series starting in 2026, including concerts and performances, health and wellness events, and other special and holiday events throughout the year. The sponsorship will go into effect during the first full year the market has relocated to its new home across Charlotte Avenue at the future Sanford Agricultural Marketplace facility.

In recognition of CCH’s sponsorship, Dave Santoemma, Chief Executive Officer of Central Carolina Hospital, joined the SFM board of directors at the market on Saturday, Aug. 10, to celebrate the announcement of this partnership as well as experience one of the market’s special events this year, “Pepper Palooza!”
“This is an exciting partnership between two organizations that are dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for residents of Sanford and Lee County,” Santoemma said. “CCH is delighted to join with the Farmer’s Market in offering community events and activities that will help fulfill our mission of ‘making communities healthier.’” The gathering was also a celebration of National Farmers’ Market Week (August 4-10), a national event recognizing the essential role that farmers’ markets play in supplying our communities access to fresh, locally grown produce and supporting a food system that works better for farmers and their communities.
