Fresh produce and healthy grilled foods offered to promote nutrition
Four years ago after Methodist Hospitals conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment, one of the issues identified in the Gary community was the lack of availability of fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices.
As a result Methodist Hospitals Food Services Department began offering a series of Farmer’s Markets and Food Fairs at wholesale prices to promote nutrition and enhance the availability of fresh produce to the Gary and surrounding communities.
“The Farmer’s Market has become an annual tradition and is a reflection of our commitment to the well-being and nutrition needs of our community,” said Frank Matchem, Manager, Food services.
The Farmer’s Market will be held on the following Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with healthy grilling demonstrations offered by Methodist Hospitals Chefs from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Northlake Campus in Gary. The Farmer’s Market will be held in the parking lot directly across from the Administration Building and next to McDonalds:
Friday, June 30
Friday, July 14
Friday, July 28
Friday, August 11
Friday, August 25
Look for the big white tent and the Farmer’s Market signs. There will be lots of fresh, delicious fruits and vegetables at wholesale prices.
