The Mainstreet Farmers Market completed its 2015 season with sales and average attendance similar to 2014's and now heads toward its April 2016 reopening with plans for a more formal structure and hopes of increasing community involvement. Meanwhile, Statesboro area residents can buy winter produce and other items from local farms, mills, bakers and craftspeople through the affiliated online Statesboro Market2Go, which continues year-round. Debra Chester, chairperson of the Mainstreet Farmers Market's community advisory board, said a formal board of directors is now being created.
