Sustainable Produce Distribution
In partnership with Douglas County Master Gardeners and Just Food, the Lawrence Farmers’ Market vendors donate 3000+ pounds of produce every year. That's equivalent to over 10,000 servings of fresh produce!
Thanks, Master Gardeners and Just Food for helping us make such a great impact in our community.
