August is National Wellness Month

August is National Wellness Month, a time to focus on self-care, managing stress, and building healthy routines that nourish your body, mind, and spirit. There’s no better place to start your wellness journey than right here at the Thomasville Farmers Market - where local produce, wholesome foods, and a strong sense of community come together every week.

Eat Well, Feel Well

Healthy eating is at the heart of a balanced lifestyle. At Thomasville Farmers Market, you’ll find farm-fresh produce, local honey, fresh eggs and more - all grown or made with care by local farmers and artisans. When you shop local, you’re not just supporting your health; you’re supporting your community, too.

Look for produce packed with nutrients and flavor this season:

• Tomatoes – rich in antioxidants and vitamin C

• Corn – a good source of fiber and essential minerals

• Sweet potatoes – full of beta-carotene for healthy skin and vision

• Blueberries – loaded with brain-boosting antioxidants

In addition to produce, other local growers and artisans bring gorgeous blooms and uniquely crafted items to add to your wellness journey!

Simple Wellness Tips for August

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water, especially during hot summer days at the market!

• Move More: After taking a stroll through the market, take a walk downtown to enjoy local businesses in the area.

• Get Rest: Prioritize sleep…it’s just as important as nutrition and exercise.

• Try Something New: Experiment with a new fruit or veggie you’ve never cooked before.

• Practice Gratitude: Take a moment each day to appreciate the small things—like that perfect tomato or a chat with your favorite vendor.
