Produce from Winter Park Urban Farm

Produce from Winter Park Urban Farm

Summer is settling in and we're seeing many of our friends in the farming community starting to close down for the season.  We still have some fresh produce coming in from Winter Park Urban Farm, The Barefoot Farmer (via Heart of Christmas Farms), and Second Breakast, but you'll see that the selection has shifted to heat-friendly crops like peppers, eggplant, tropical spinaches, and smaller tomato varieties.  Now is a great time to get some tropical edibles going in your home garden, and you can pick up starter plants at the market, from vendors like Miller's Edible Garden and Second Breakfast.  If you're a SNAP shopper, you can use your benefit to purchase edible plants and seeds (along with all the other staples you already buy with SNAP), and you can use your Fresh Access Bucks for those purchases as well.  Stop by the HQ booth if you have any questions about how that works!

We hope to see you at the market. 

With Gratitude,

Gabby Lothrop 
Market Director
