Overview

Mission

Garfield Park Farmers Market Inc exists to support local sustainable farmers and producers while creating a gathering place for community interactions. It also aligns with the Slow Food International principles of good, clean and fair food for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization operated a weekly farmers market (from May to October) to increase public access to fresh, locally produced foods and to support small agricultural businesses in the region. The market hosted over 20 vendors each week, serving an estimated 2,000 or more community members over the season. The organization processed SNAP/EBT transactions and distributed matching nutrition incentives to low-income shoppers, facilitating approximately $8,000 in healthy food purchases for SNAP households. Educational programs included cooking demonstrations and outreach promoting local agriculture.
