Mt Morris Farmer's Market... NEW! Saturdays - Marcus Garvey Park
Through Saturday, November 20
Presented by Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association
Our very own Farmer's Market is opening...
- Saturday, July 10, 2010 in Marcus Garvey Park.
Please stop by and check it out! MMPCIA is teaming up with Maritza Owens and Harvest Homes to provide a weekly Farmer's Market at Marcus Garvey Park North, 124th Street & Fifth Avenue.
Maritza started her company in 1993 out of the need to increase access to farm fresh produce in under-serviced neighborhoods.
One of her founding principles was that all members of our society, no matter what their socio-economic status, should have access to good quality produce.
The open air markets established by Harvest Home meet three major goals:
1) Increased access to fresh, good quality, affordable and locally grown produce,
2) Encourage cultural activities and information exchange, and
3) Provide part-time employment and micro-enterprise business opportunities for neighborhood residents and youth.
MMPCIA is pleased to be involved in this exciting new addition to our neighborhood. Please stop by, shop and support the effort!
Local, Farm Fresh, Healthy & Affordable
Saturdays, July 10 to November 20 8 AM to 4 PM
Marcus Garvey Park North 124th Street & Fifth Avenue
