# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Food Access Education Day at Grandin Village Farmers Market
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Fresh, quality food should be accessible to everyone. Join us at Grandin Village Farmers Market on September 12th from 8am-12pm to learn about and celebrate the vital role that farmers markets play in building a healthier, more connected community! 

We’ll highlight the farmers, vendors, and community partners working to make local food more affordable and available across our community.  When we help more people to be able to afford and physically access fresh food, we also increase income going into local farmers' pockets—it's a win-win!

LEAP farmers markets support shoppers with limited income and resources through Harvest Bucks: for every $1 someone with SNAP, WIC, or Medicaid spends at our markets, they get an additional $1 free to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables! Learn more at leapforlocalfood.org/access 

Want to help make a difference? For every $1 you donate, you double the amount someone who needs it has to spend on fresh food. It's that simple.

The Grandin Village Farmers Market is open EVERY SATURDAY from 8am–12pm during our main season (Apr-Oct). Follow LEAP to stay tuned for upcoming events!
