Parks and Recreation's Tuesday Market Opens June 3 at Hopewell Commons

The Bloomington Community Farmers' Market will launch its Tuesday Market at Hopewell Commons on June 3, operating from 4-7 p. m. This market features local farm vendors offering fresh produce and prepared food made from locally sourced ingredients, with no admission fee. Vehicle parking is available on West University Street, while attendees are encouraged to walk or bike using the nearby B-Line Trail. The Tuesday Market will also double SNAP benefits, allowing participants to exchange up to $27 for $54 in Market Bucks, enhancing access to fresh food for low-income families.

Live music will be part of the market every other Tuesday, with LeRoy McQueen performing on opening day. The market serves as a community hub, fostering local agriculture and food culture. For ongoing updates, interested individuals can sign up for a weekly newsletter featuring vendor profiles and local food news. Additional inquiries can be directed to the Farmers' Market Coordinator via email or phone.
