“First ever panel discussion at the Coppell Farmers Market with food artisans, farmers, market managers and avid customers! What are the benefits of farmers markets (food, social, economic, environmental); what is needed to support the farmers and small business start ups; what can be improved for the local food system in North Texas?”
