The G.I.F.T. (Give It Fresh Today) program will be at the market and continue to collect fresh food each week. The program celebrates its 14th year this season. With over 13,000 pounds of donations collected last year, the program makes a real difference in the lives of local families. The Summit Farmers Market community plays a vital role in this success, with customers and vendors generously contributing to the cause. Through their partner G.R.A.C.E. (Giving and Receiving Assistance for our Community’s Essentials), these donations are distributed weekly to families.
The Summit Farmers Market will be open Sundays from April 28 – November 24 from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m., then Sundays, December 8, 15 & 22 from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. The market is located at Park & Shop Lot #1 at the corner of DeForest Avenue and Woodland Avenue. Don’t miss the chance to shop for fresh, locally-sourced goods and support your community at the Summit Farmers Market.
