The East Warren corridor welcomes back the E. Warren Farmers Market for their annual market from 5 pm to 8 pm. every Thursday through the summer. The former Pizza Hut on E. Warren and Bishop is now the permanent home of the weekly farmers market, hosting more than 30 local vendors and food trucks.

The market’s return is testimony to its success, both as a celebration of local talent and for the direct economic impact on our community. Earnings of $60,000 went back into the pockets of the 83 predominantly local, minority, and women-owned small businesses who participated in 2021. This was a 240% increase from the initial market launch in 2020.

It’s more than just a market. It’s an intentional space to cultivate businesses, share resources, and launch vendors into a sustainable career. Fourteen of the vendors last year were able to expand their businesses to both food trucks and brick and mortar locations.

Starting in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the E. Warren Farmers Market has been home to a growing variety of vendors. From produce to skincare, jewelry to baked goods, and everything in between, the market showcases talent from across the east side. In addition to vendors, the market often features live music, resources from local partnerships and organizations, as well as a space to gather and eat from local food trucks.

Going into the 2022 season, the market is looking to host even more vendors, artists, and entertainment. Allowing people to showcase their talents, in hopes of continuing to help revitalize the community and reactivate the E. Warren corridor, the E. Warren Farmers Market is looking forward to seeing returning families and welcoming new visitors!
