Celebration of National Farmers Market Week at Baltimore City Farmers Markets
Start Date: 8/5/2015Start Time: 4:00 PM
End Date: 8/5/2015End Time: 8:00 PM
Event Description:

The Maryland Farmers Market Association, Maryland Hunger Solutions, and Govanstowne Farmers Market warmly invite you to a joint celebration of National Farmers Market Week and Summer Meals at Baltimore City Farmers Markets.

Please join us at the Govanstowne Farmers Market (5104 York Rd. Baltimore, MD) on Wednesday, August 5 at 4pm for refreshments from local producers, music, activities for the whole family, a market basket raffle, and a brief program with local and national leaders.  MDA Secretary Bartenfelder is attending & speaking.

 We are excited to announce that this year, the Summer Food Service Program is available for the first time at three participating Baltimore City farmers markets: Govanstowne, Druid Hill, and Pigtown. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP or Summer Meals) feeds kids who might otherwise go hungry. This federal program helps families stretch their food budgets throughout the summer months and should be expanded to serve even more children in need. Farmers markets play a critical role in our local food environment and provide safe, positive, community gathering spaces; the collaboration with a program aimed to alleviate food insecurity and support our youth is a natural fit. And what better time to celebrate this exciting partnership than National Farmers Market Week?

Added bonus: the farmers market will be open as usual, so come ready for a mid-week shop. Peaches are in season!
