Get your own Midtown Farmers Market lawn sign

Help neighbors and visitors find the freshest source of locally-produced food, crafts, and community gathering in the neighborhood, by hosting a Midtown Farmers Market lawn sign on your property. Signs are available at the market during open hours for a suggested donation of $5. The City asks that you post your lawn sign in your yard, rather than on the public boulevard.
