WHEREAS, the Parish has sought unique ways to increase awareness for this project and gather community input; and,
WHEREAS, a goal of the project is to increase access to healthy food for neighborhoods; and,
WHEREAS, the German Coast Farmers' Market has served as a community gathering place, tourist destination, and a market for a wide range of fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other value-added items for over ten years; and,
