About the Markets
The Healthy Farmers Markets started in 2018 with the goal of bringing fresh and affordable food to our community for those experiencing financial hardship. We also provide community resources, local vendors with goods and services, health screenings, nutrition education, and more!
This is an outdoor event. Eat breakfast, drink water, and wear sunscreen to stay safe and healthy. If there is unsafe weather (lightning, high winds, or very high temperatures), markets will be cancelled. This webpage will provide updates on cancellations.
