Northside Farmers Market

One month more until Sunday, May 6, the opening day for the Northside Farmers Market. Reunite with friends, neighbors and vendors from last summer’s season, listen to music and buy locally grown and produced food. Join as we start our 14th summer season. Thank you for helping us reach this milestone.

Celebrate Mother’s Day with us May 13. Moms who stop by the information booth will receive a flowering seedling to thank them for all they do.

This market began in 2005 due to the hard work of a committed group of neighbors with a vision of maintaining access to local foods on the Northside. The market continues to thrive due to the many volunteers who oversee the operation and help create the Sunday morning meeting place each week. If you are passionate about supporting healthy, sustainable, locally-grown food, consider signing up to help with setup, answer questions and process Quest purchases at the information booth, or help with take down. If you are interested in volunteering or playing acoustic music at the market, contact us at manager.nfm@gmail.com.

The Northside Farmers Market happens every Sunday morning May 6‒Oct. 21, 8:30 am–12:30 pm, at the Northside TownCenter, 2817 N. Sherman Ave., across from Warner Park. Find us at the base of the Willy Street Co-op parking lot. Our location makes it easy to get to by walking, bus, bicycle or car, with plenty of parking available.
