Tutti Noi Farmers Market is pleased to announce it will host a special Mental Health Awareness Day on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event aims to shine a light on the importance of mental well-being by emphasizing the core values of Compassion, Connection, and Conversation, all of which are naturally cultivated within the vibrant atmosphere of the community market.

In an increasingly fast-paced world, taking a moment to nurture our mental health is more important than ever. The Tutti Noi Farmers Market( pronounced Two-tee New EE) provides a unique setting where these essential elements of well-being can flourish.

This isn’t just any market day; it’s a day dedicated to fostering Connection, Compassion, and Conversation – three vital ingredients for our well-being.
“Tutti Noi” is Italian for “all of us,” and it perfectly captures our vision for this event: a day where we remember that we’re all in this together, that you’re not alone, and that you are always welcome here. It’s a day to come together, share a smile, and support one another.
How does a farmers market bring these important themes to life? We’re so glad you asked!

 

Connection: Imagine a vibrant space where fresh produce meets friendly faces, and local artisans share their crafts alongside dedicated mental health providers. The Tutti Noi Farmers Market is a natural gathering place, bringing diverse members of our community together. Whether you drive, walk, or bike to the 400 State Trail rest area, you’ll find a welcoming hub designed for easy interaction and shared experiences. It’s a chance to connect with neighbors, make new friends, and feel the strength of our community bond.
Compassion: In the open, relaxed atmosphere of the market, compassion can flourish. With mental health providers on-site, ready to share resources and lend a listening ear, we’re creating a space where understanding and support are paramount. The “Tutti Noi” spirit means everyone is met with kindness, and help is offered freely and without judgment.
Conversation: Sometimes, the most meaningful conversations happen in the most casual settings. As you wander through the market stalls, grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee, or participate in an activity, opportunities for conversation will abound. Chat with a farmer about their harvest, discuss well-being with a provider, or simply share a laugh with a friend. We’re creating an environment where talking openly – whether it’s light-hearted banter or something more profound – feels natural and encouraged.
“We believe that a thriving community is one that supports the well-being of all its members, and that includes mental health,” says [Angie Cain, Tutti Noi Market Manager ]. “The farmers market is more than just a place to buy groceries; it’s a hub where compassion, connection, and conversation happen organically. On May 17th, we want to intentionally highlight these aspects and encourage everyone to reflect on their own mental well-being and that of those around them.”

Attendees can expect the usual vibrant array of fresh, local produce, artisanal goods, and delicious food, all within an atmosphere that consciously promotes positive mental health through community engagement. Additional activities include fun interactive games and mixers,presentations and short stories, tools and resources from local providers and a fun day.

Join us at the Tutti Noi Farmers Market on Saturday, May 17th, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM to celebrate and support mental health through the simple yet powerful acts of compassion, connection, and conversation.
