Stewarded by the Capital Area YMCA since 2015, the Greenwood Ave. Farmers Market was created in partnership with many local, county, and state organizations to address a long-standing need among Trenton residents: bringing local, healthy, and culturally-appropriate food choices and health resources to families in underserved communities. Conveniently located behind the Trenton Transit Center and adjacent to senior housing and a preschool, we appeal to an array of residents within the Trenton community, including working professionals, seniors, children, and families. 

Each year, we aim to continue to champion the mission that started it all:

  • Provide healthy, farm fresh and culturally-appropriate food access to the Trenton community
  • Enhance the buying power of families and individuals participating in government benefit assistance programs through matching dollar incentive programs
  • Positively impact the economic development of local farmers, growers and entrepreneurs

 

Throughout each market season, we’re able to create a deeper sense of community in a safe, family-friendly environment, where residents can shop for produce while enjoying health screenings and education, physical fitness activities, nutrition education, music, games, and more!

Come join us! We’re the Capital City’s one stop wellness shop, and we hope to see you soon!
