Sweet Grown Alabama, the state’s nonprofit agricultural branding program, will celebrate all things locally grown for Sweet Grown Alabama Day on Saturday, July 22.

Alabamians from Huntsville to Foley can buy locally grown products and connect with farmers in their surrounding areas. Taking part in Sweet Grown Alabama Day is simple: Do at least one activity that supports an Alabama farmer.

For example, buy from local farmers, cook a meal made with local ingredients, pick Alabama-grown flowers, visit an agritourism operation, eat at a restaurant that serves locally grown products, visit a local farmers market and more. Numerous farmers markets statewide will host Sweet Grown Alabama Day events on Saturday. Check out local markets and farmers near you.
