2023 Produce in the Park kicks off June 1

Although humbled beginnings, your neighbors are now marking their calendars so they do not miss a single week. With live music, family entertainment, and organizations keeping you busy, don’t forget to swing by the guest chef’s station to learn a new way to prepare your garden favorites. Of course with our visiting food trucks, there is no reason to leave hungry. Admission is free to the public and as always, we appreciate that you support local.

Vendors expected to attend on June 1 include Kringleman, Ter-Bear Honey, Sue’s Country Garden, Piper’s Brea, Cakes, Cookies and Confections, LLC., Frosting Inc., Donna’s Jewelry, The 11th Acre, Oak Hill Honey, Corn 4 a Cause, Neighborhood Bakehouse, Allen Place, CJ Treats, Brun Ko Farm, Insights of Iowa, Cass County Cats, 712CustomBaits and Bridgewater Farm.

Live music will be provided by Sarah Selders, and Nishna Valley Family YMCA staff will offer a bounce house and other activities. The Guest Chef will be Vicki Nordskog, and food trucks attending will be Hungry Spartan Pizza and Noble Provisions. Organizations attending include Master Gardeners, Relay For Life and the Atlantic Public Library.

All vendors accept cash, and many accept credit cards and Venmo. All qualifying food vendors accept SNAP/EBT (also known as food stamps). All fresh produce vendors both accept and distribute Double Up Food Bucks (coupons given for SNAP/EBT purchasers of fresh produce).

A special thanks to our sponsors: United Church of Christ, Nishna Valley Family YMCA, Cass Health, First Whitney Bank and Trust, City of Atlantic, Parks and Recreation Department and Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce.
