North End Farmers Market is a grass-root victory for North End residents who long desired a farmers market in their own community. Hartford Food System supported this effort through a feasibility study published in 2008; we partnered with neighborhood leaders to hire the market coordinator and provide outreach to community residents. A planning team comprised of community residents, the City of Hartford’s Department of Health and Human Services, United Connecticut Action for Neighborhoods, Rambuh Family Center, and Hartford Food System worked for several months to establish this market.
We are a collaboration of community partners utilizing Urban Agriculture, Hartford green spaces, policy change and sustainability programming to grow powerful agents of community empowerment both driving and providing greater access to healthy food for all Hartford residents.
