New farmer's market starts Tuesday 5/7 at Mercer Park

Iowa City's newest Farmer's Market is practically in the back yard of some of our Lucas families. Be sure to stop by Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. for  fresh produce, baked goods, prepared foods, jewelry, gift items, and other products from area farmers, bakers, and artisans. The first market is this Tuesday, May 7; it will run weekly through  October 29.

For those unfamiliar with the area, Mercer Park is located on Bradford Street (off of First Avenue), next to Southeast Junior High. The Mercer Park Farmer’s Market will be held in the parking lot directly north of the baseball fields.
