Thanks to a partnership with Slow Food Denver, Denver Urban Gardens, Edgewater Collective and HEALthy Edgewater, Jefferson Junior/Senior High School will have a Youth Farmers’ Market on Fridays starting on September 30. Students from the FCCLA Club at Jefferson will run the market with help from community volunteers. The market will be located on the west side of Pierce Street just south of 24th Avenue and will be open from 3-5 pm. The market is open to community members and families from Lumberg Elementary, Edgewater Elementary and Jefferson Junior/Senior High will be invited as well. An EBT machine will be available so SNAP benefits will be accepted. Produce will be from the Jefferson Community Garden as well as Denver Urban Gardens.
