Located near 禁漫天堂鈥檚 campus, the Govans Farmers Market provides the York Road community of north Baltimore with affordable, fresh, local produce. Market selections include returning favorites serving fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, cold crabs and seafood, baked goods, and hot Mexican food, including tacos and burritos.
The site also features the Govans Community Fridge, which started in June 2022. The fridge, which serves both community residents and 禁漫天堂 students, provides resources including fresh produce, hygiene products, and water. The fridge operates on 鈥渢ake what you need, share what you can鈥� basis. Anyone is welcome to donate or take from the fridge.
Home of the farmers market and York Road Initiative, 禁漫天堂鈥檚 property at 5104 York Road will be renovated to create a community hub for the University鈥檚 community development effort along York Road. The renovations will also strengthen 禁漫天堂鈥檚 sustainability and food equity efforts on the property, including the farmers market.
