About the Market

Background

The Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market at the Horse Farm, Inc. (LFAM) has established itself as a premier venue for affordable food and health education in Lafayette Central Park. It serves as a regional hub for cultural and educational activities, providing a space for local producers to showcase their goods and for the community to engage in various interactive programs.

Practices

LFAM emphasizes the importance of local production and community engagement. By offering a platform for farmers, gardeners, and artisans, the market supports sustainable agricultural practices and promotes health education. Programs such as cooking classes, gardening workshops, and environmental stewardship lessons highlight the interconnectedness of farming, ecology, and human health.

The Rest

LFAM is open year-round, with a seasonal Wednesday Market from May to November. The market hosts a variety of programs including heritage events, traditional craft demonstrations, and activities led by nutritionists, physicians, yoga instructors, chefs, and cultural leaders, fostering collaborative relationships and a strong sense of community.
