We know that the high cost of fresh fruits and vegetables makes it largely unaffordable to many seniors living on a small, fixed income. The Free Farmer’s Market was initiated specifically for that population and has become an important resource for low-income seniors.

The Farmer’s Market is staged at the Mizell Center every Thursday morning from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. An assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables is received from the FIND Food Bank and distributed on a first come, first serve basis. The market is staffed entirely by Mizell Center volunteers, who cheerfully arrive very early in the morning, rain or shine, to serve our members and guests.
