Phat Beets Farmer's Market
Do you support food justice, food access and healthy living? Do you want to sell your stuff in a cool community environment or buy stuff from local people?
This Saturday, Aug. 27, Phat Beets Produce is inviting new vendors and artisans to its Flea Market and Bazaar, which will co-exist alongside the North Oakland Farmer's Market at Arlington Medical Center, 5715 Market St.
Booths are affordable, too, starting at $5 a pop.
Consider the fact that this volunteer-driven group began as an effort to make healthy food more easily accessed by families with ill children. Max Cadji, Dr. Jenifer Matthews and Brett Benner started the first Farmer's Market in the parking lot of Children's Hospital, gave out some vouchers to families there and made a point to accept WIC and EBT.
• A vermi-composting workshop (utilizing red worms to eliminate waste rather than manage it)
• A cooking demonstration by Bauman College graduates
• Sets by dj un.d.fine (soul, hiphop, jazz and funk)
Are you hella hearting Oakland even more yet?
