Southside Community Farmer's Market, making a difference.

It's a success story of creating a food and community focused market where community and vendors come together to provide locally produced and crafted food to the most insecure area in our city.    Vendors line up every Tuesday to offer abundance of produce, eggs, baked goods, preserves, flowers, mushrooms, salsa, meat and seafood to the community.  There are discounts available to those who need to use them, no questions asked.  There is a free community meal every week, free to all, no questions asked. Last summer 4000 meals were served. While this neighborhood is the most food insecure in our city, it is also a vibrant & active community with many members who participate in & support the Market.   Along with the neighborhood steering committee, Calypso Farm, and Breadline, the Southside Market is coming into its TENTH summer.  The Southside Market is dedicated to making quality, local food accessible to everyone. In their commitment to food justice, the Southside Market accepts SNAP (food stamps), WIC, Senior Farmers Market Coupons & offers “Pay What You Can” discounts – up to 50% off – to anyone in need.
