Dear Get Healthy DeSoto/DeSoto Farmers Market Family & Friends,
Get Healthy De Soto is proud to be a part of the De Soto and Jefferson County communities. This year we are presenting the 12th annual Winter Flakes Race on Saturday February 28, 2026 from 8 am-noon. The race will include 5k and 1 mile walk/run options and an added bonus of supporting Get Healthy De Soto and the 2025 #8 Farmers’ Market in the USA. We want to invite you to sponsor, volunteer, and/or participate in an effort to promote our 2026 Initiatives. Get Healthy De Soto hopes to raise enough money this year to hire a Director, which would allow us to bring back, as well as develop many new community programs and events to provide health and wellness opportunities that are limited or unavailable in our community. De Soto Farmers Market is currently preparing to build a new Community Garden and needs aid and resources for beds, soil, seeds, and maintenance. De Soto Farmers Market is also looking to start educational classes for youth and adults in the community.
