“The Land of Goshen Community Market is delighted to work with the Bank of Hillsboro this season to make downtown Saturday mornings an even bigger success and help our vendors reach new customers in the region,” said Jessica DeSpain, PhD, president of the Goshen Market Foundation. “The Bank of Hillsboro understands the importance of agriculture and buying local and we are thrilled with the added benefits they’ll provide for our customers.”
Bank of Hillsboro will be offering reusable bags to patrons who visit the market. The bank will also offer a variety of family-friendly crafts including take-home seed packets for kids, flower demonstrations and other educational activities.
