The Farmers' Market came to town today with a special event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the fourth floor of the state Capitol to raise awareness about the importance of agriculture.

Organizers aim to educate the public and policymakers about the importance of local agricultural markets to the economy and community. All produce and products are locally grown and made; proceeds from today's market will go to the Hawai'i Foodbank.

"Farm to Table: Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Economy, Sustainable Communities" is sponsored by agriculture and farming advocates with support from state lawmakers.
