The Holland Farmers Market is more than just a place for local farmers and artisans to sell their goods—it's a vibrant community gathering spot. Beyond providing a space for fresh, local produce and handmade goods, the market is a strong partner in reducing food waste and enhancing food access in our community.
Lakeshore Food Rescue partners with the Holland Farmers Market to transform surplus food into nutritious meals for our community. On Wednesdays, shoppers can donate fresh produce directly to Action House and other local nonprofits. On Saturdays, we have the opportunity to glean and collect high-quality, unsold produce and goods from the farmers. This collaboration ensures that good food reaches those who need it, rather than going to waste.
We were thrilled to be featured in the Holland Sentinel's recent MiSustainable article! The piece highlights the impactful work happening at the market, and we're grateful for the recognition. You can read the full article here :Holland Farmers Markets Offer More Than Just Food.
