The LMH Market Opens May 7

 

[May 04, 2022] 

The Lincoln Memorial Hospital Market will open for its seventh season Saturday on the Logan County Fairgrounds in Lincoln.

The LMH Market will operate from 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays through Sept. 24 inside the Expo Building. Sponsored by the Lincoln Memorial Foundation, the indoor event is a “producer-only” farmers market, meaning all items offered are homegrown, handmade or vendor-created from locally owned operations.

Vendors at The LMH Market offer fruits, vegetables, eggs, poultry, baked goods, honey and more.

Shoppers enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides assistance to supplement the grocery budgets of families in need, may use a Link card to purchase food at the farmers market. The market offers SNAP matching for Link card holders, and the match is tripled every third Saturday.

Other offerings at The LMH Market include free health screenings on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month and the Power of Produce (POP) Club provides activities for children from 5 to 12 years old to engage them in the local food system with educational games and demonstrations, conversations with farmers and exposure to fruits and vegetables.

Attendees will also find a “Local Roots” booth that provides an opportunity for vendors who are not producer-only, but have a local connection and a quality product to share with customers.

The LMH Market is presented by Lincoln Memorial Hospital and promotes health and wellness through fresh food and health-focused programs. For more information about The LMH Market, visit memorial.health/the-lmh-market
