The One Africa! One Nation! Farmers Market team is incredibly excited to launch our third season in North St. Louis: We are under new management, and in a new location- the historic O’Fallon Park!
Our mission is to provide access to fresh, healthy food to the black community, end food apartheid and create community commerce by building relationships with black farmers and vendors — a blueprint for African self-determination.
This market season is all about buying from each other and selling to everyone, bringing commerce back into the North St. Louis. This season will also feature programming ranging from our children’s circle, to backyard gardening workshops, to free yoga classes, as well as cultural performances by local artists!
We are seeking volunteers of all skill levels, from all walks of life to staff each Market day!
