Why Do We Have a Farmers Market?
The Engagement and Economic Empowerment Team is working to bring fresh, healthy, and culturally appropriate food to marginalized communities in South Bend.
Low-income, minority, and rural communities are disproportionately burdened with food insecurity and experience higher rates of nutritional-based illnesses. St. Joseph County has a food insecurity rate of 12.9%, which means that 34,870 residents do not have access to fresh, healthy, affordable food.
2025 Market Dates
In 2025, the markets have been moved to the MLK Dream Center located at 1522 Linden Ave, South Bend, IN, 46628.
