Monroe County Executive Adam Bello today announced that Monroe County will celebrate National Farmers Market Week by offering recycling education programs at several local farm markets.
“Offering recycling education for the public at local farm markets makes sense,” said County Executive Bello. “With farm markets in communities across Monroe County, we can bring information to people where they live, all while celebrating our farm markets for their role in stimulating our local economy, increasing access to fresh, nutritional food and championing sustainability.”
