 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
