Social Media: Staying Connected

Social media networks have exploded in the last year or two. Tweeting has moved way beyond early adopters, and almost every business has a Facebook page these days. Our market, and many of our vendors, also use these tools to keep in touch and share news and information with those who want to stay connected.

The Western Wake Farmers' Market has more than 502 "likers" (formerly "fans," yes Facebook is always changing something) and nearly 300 followers on Twitter. If you would like to be plugged in to our latest news, check out pages and join in: Facebook and Twitter.

And our own Western Wake Eats newsletter, sent each Thursday morning, keeps you posted on the latest market events and news, plus what's fresh at market. Your privacy is important to us, so we never sell, rent or give your name or address to anyone!

Vendors Post Too

You can also get more information on at what's happening at some of the farms and businesses that come to market at their Facebook pages, along with information they are sharing about recipes and the local food scene:

Check all our vendors' web sites for information, photos, events, newsletters and blogs. Get to know them online and at market...know your farmer, know your food!
