The Lookout Farmers Market kicked off its new East Brainerd – Audubon Acres Farmers Market location with a grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting on Tuesday, June 3. Located at 900 North Sanctuary Road, the Lookout Farmers Market supports and encourages organic and sustainable growing practices by bringing local farmers to the East Brainerd Market.

All the fruit and vegetable farmers participating in the Lookout Farmers Market are located within 100 miles of the market and use sustainable farming practices.

The market will run every Tuesday through October from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The principle of “know your farmer, know your food” is the watchword of the Lookout Farmers Market. Locally grown fresh produce, baked goods, grass-fed meats, free ranged eggs, herbs, breads, cakes, pastries, jam, nuts, doggie treats, fresh squeezed lemon aid, garden plants, candles, soap, botanicals, art, jewelry, prepared foods and food carts will be featured as well as weekly entertainment and educational programs.

VISA, MasterCard, and EBT transactions are accepted. The Market is accepting SNAP/EBT cards to make organic fresh produce more affordable for low-income families.
