ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity has partnered with Haymaker Farmers' Market to bring a farmer's market to the Kent campus.  The ÃÛÑ¿appFarmers' Market provides students with opportunities to learn about the local farming community, select fresh produce and connect with the broader Kent community in addition to creating a community around food with a warm, friendly and fun environment. The market will include selling crafts (photography, prints, glass, fiber) and educational workshops related to food as well as performances (music, dance, theater).  

The ÃÛÑ¿appFarmers' Market is a perfect example of programming that exposes the university community to nutritious local foods, products, farms and agriculture. The collaborative project aligns perfectly with the mission of the ÃÛÑ¿appof Well-being and highlights the new eight dimensions of well-being framework promoted on our campus.
