About the BIPOC Farmers Market

Southside Community Farm hosts a monthly BIPOC farmers market as a way to make healthy, fresh food available in our neighborhood and to promote local craftspeople and farmers of color. The market is the first Sunday of the month, May-October right next to Southside Community Farm. Besides our own fresh produce, you’ll also find many other local Black and brown vendors at our EBT-accessible market.
