Over 20 local vendors will offer a wide variety of products including garden seedlings, produce, meat, baked goods, canned goods, gluten free and vegan items, soap, crafts, and more.
Other activities at the market will include live music, free food, a seed swap event, and a lead-testing clinic for youth and pregnant people.
The market offers $25 in matching market bucks for SNAP participants who swipe their EBT cards for $15 at the market. The Power of Produce (PoP) Program will also offer $4 in tokens to kids 18 and under and elders 60 and over to spend on produce. The regular season farmers market begins June 13 and will continue every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Harrison Park. The market will not be held on July 4.
The event is coordinated by Community Action Duluth’s Seeds of Success program.
