In this segment of The Local Feed on WYCE, we talk to Melissa Harrington. She is the Executive Director of the Fulton St. Farmers Market in Grand Rapids, MI. Listen to learn about their new building and the vendors located inside. The building is the cap of the project funded by their 3 million dollar capital campaign.
The Fulton Street Farmers Market is in its 91st season.
During the peak of the season, 10,000 people show up to shop local and get to know their farmers.
The market also includes a Wednesday evening market from June to September at 4:00 – 7:30 p.m.
