Loyola's Public Safety and Motor Pool Parking Lot (5104 York Road)
June 5, 2013 - September 11, 2013 | 3pm-7pm
Founded in 2011, the Govanstowne Farmers' Market, sponsored by Loyola University Maryland, the York Road Partnership, and the Govanstowne Business Association, seeks to provide the York Road community of north Baltimore City with produce that is affordable, fresh, and local.
In the 2012 season, our vendors sold over $4,000 in fruits and vegetables by accepting federal, state, and local benefits. Due to this success, Govanstowne Farmers Market was chosen by the United Way as a pilot program researching food access in low income areas. If you would like more information about this program, please contact Brett Kirkpatrick at bwkirkpatrick@loyola.edu
