Summit Farmers Market
About the Market
Background
The Summit Farmers Market has been a beloved Sunday morning destination for years, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019. Known for its vibrant community atmosphere, the market has consistently provided a space for visitors to purchase a wide array of fresh and local products.
Practices
The market emphasizes the availability of organic produce, supporting local and regional farmers who adhere to organic farming practices. The introduction of the Give It Fresh Daily (G.I.F.T.) initiative highlights a commitment to reducing food waste and supporting those in need by redistributing donated produce to local organizations.
The Rest
The market operates rain or shine every Sunday from May to November, with specific locations changing throughout the season. The G.I.F.T. initiative has been well received, with over 5,000 lbs of food donated during the 2012 season alone. Special events, such as the 20th Anniversary Party, add to the market's appeal, offering visitors a chance to engage with the community and sample various offerings.
