The Idora Neighborhood Farmers' Market opened on June 7th and will run through October 4th, and has grown significantly in its third year.
Market vendors sell products including fruits and vegetables, jams, granola, sauces, and prepared foods. Every market has events such as kids' games, a pop up library, or wellness and gardening classes. In 2016, the market has become a site for the Mercy Health Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program, through which doctors prescribe patients fresh produce that they can purchase at the market. The market also doubles SNAP purchases up to $20 per visit and accepts WIC Farmers' Market coupons. The market is open every Tuesday from 4:30pm - 7:00pm, and is located at 2600 Glenwood Avenue.
