The University District Farmers Market focuses on increasing consumption of, and access to, locally and regionally grown fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables.  In addition, it focuses on educating the community about purchasing, cooking, and eating healthy foods.

The UDDC works with various farmers, gardeners, craft persons, and chefs to create an atmosphere that fosters a place where community members can find affordable produce and products and learn about healthy cooking.

The market is held weekly from May through September. One goal of the farmer’s market is to reduce the impact of a food desert by increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
