GREEN LIGHT: go and take action

Think Global – Buy Local

Decide to purchase your produce locally rather than at the grocery store and you will not only be practicing good Earthkeeping but you will also be supporting our local farmers and local economy. The Fargo/Moorhead area has two local food markets:

Fargo Community Farmers Market
The Fargo Community Farmers Market opens for the season Tuesday, June 2. It is located in the Dike East parking lot at 400 south Fourth Street in Fargo. Hours are 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. The market offers a variety of vegetables, melons, cut flowers, honey, jams and is open every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, June through October.

FM Farmers Market
The FM Farmers Market in West Fargo is open May though December and is located at 349 East Main Avenue in West Fargo. This market offers an even wider variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, jellies, flowers, trees, shrubs, and other garden plants and supplies.
