[February 12, 2023]
The Lincoln Memorial Hospital Market will open
for its eighth season on Saturday, May 20, on the Logan County
Fairgrounds in Lincoln and run through Sept. 30. |
|
 The
LMH Market will operate from 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays inside the
Expo Building. Sponsored by the Lincoln Memorial Foundation, the
indoor event is a “producer-only” farmers market, which means items
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. 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. [to top of second

Attendees will also find a “Local
Roots” booth that provides an opportunity for vendors who are
not producer-only, but who 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.
