Fleet Farming Featured on NPR

/

The Audubon Park Community Market is very much a neighborhood event, and we’re really proud to be a part of a vibrant community food hub.  This neighborhood is a hot spot for locally-grown food, inventive culinary destinations, exciting new foodpreneurs and more.  Fleet Farming is definitely one of the highlights, and their concept is gaining national attention and accolades.  We love that we get hyper-local veggies whenever they’re in season, and it’s especially great to know that they were grown in partnership with our wonderful neighbors.
Here’s a link to the article and newscast, which were featured on All Things Considered.

And here’s a neat video profile that features some scenes of our lovely little market!

Fleet Farming is fairly regular vendor at the market, offering up their freshest goods whenever they’re in season.

Happy Monday!
