The Purdue Farmers Market will reopen Thursday (May 5) and will offer a host of locally produced foods, including prepared lunches, every Thursday through Oct. 27.

The market will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays from May 5 through Aug. 11, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursdays from Aug. 18 through Oct. 27.

In addition to a variety of local produce, the market will again offer local prepared foods, which will be served during market hours.

“The prepared foods have continued to be a popular feature since 2012, when they first were offered,” says Michael Gulich, director of campus master planning and sustainability.

The market will be held at the northern end of Memorial Mall. Twenty-minute parking spots will be available behind Stewart Center next to the "Unfinished Block P" sculpture on Oval Drive and will be free to use during market hours.
