FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chambersburg (August 30) - The Franklin County Coalition announced today that it has added the South-Central Farmers' Market Association (SCFMA) as its newest organizational member. The Association is best known for its lead role in the formation of the Southgate Farmers' Market - which opened thirteen weeks ago on the Southgate Mall Parking Lot.

The decision by the Association to join the Coalition makes the organization the sixteenth organizational member of the Coalition.

The Association also recently announced that a full brunch would be served to patrons of the Farmers' Market on Saturday, September 2nd from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. A continental version of the Brunch will be offered for $3 and a full Brunch will be offered for $5. A dozen vendors will also be present on that day - selling a range of products, from organic beef to fresh, chemical-free fruits and vegetables.

Tom Linzey, coordinator of the Franklin County Coalition, declared that it is "exciting to see such active organizations joining the Coalition. We hope that the Association gets a large turnout for their Brunch, and that the Market continues to prosper. We also applaud the Association's quest to build several more Farmers' Markets across Franklin County and the Franklin County Coalition will assist with those efforts."

The Southgate Farmers' Market - the first Market hosted by the Association - has added a vendor each week of operation. The Market continues to be a producer-only market which emphasizes chemical-free and organically produced meats, fruits, and vegetables.
