Farmers’ markets are a great way for families to purchase fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables, often grown nearby. But in many cities, some neighborhoods don’t have a regular farmers’ market nearby and they miss out on these fun community events. A neighborhood in San Antonio, TX, a predominantly Latino city, is hoping to get a farmers’ market they can call their own.dignowtyhil

Residents of the Dignowity Hill neighborhood are rallying support for a Farmer’s Market located in Dignowity Hill Park. According to an online petition, the market will have local vendors with fresh produce and goods. This will offer healthy and fresh food to the community at an affordable price and support local businesses at the same time.

The main purpose of the petition, according to residents, is to get signatures to show that the community will support a farmers market if it comes to the neighborhood.
