The East Lake Farmers Market offers a CSA-type market basket subscription for those interested in a weekly supply of fresh produce throughout the market season. Two size options are available. Subscribers pick up their boxes at the market or at designated pick-up sites around town. You can sign up for the whole season or purchase by the week. Please check back in April for more info. More info here: 2012 Market Basket info.
The Walgreens Wellness Van offered several health screenings in May 2011
We’re very excited to share that we’ve purchased a mobile market truck, courtesy of funding through the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program. Look for us later in May with fresh food in more places around South East Lake and surrounding neighborhoods.
We still have Urban Food products, our line of jams and relishes, available for sale. Please email us at [email protected] for pricing and availability. We do gift baskets, too!
