The City of Wyoming announced today University of Michigan Health-West will serve as the presenting sponsor for the first farmers market season at Godwin Mercado. Located at 301 36th St. SW, Godwin Mercado connects the community with fresh, locally grown food and highlights the cultures that make Wyoming unique. The Godwin Mercado Farmers Market will be held Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. May through October. The market will feature local farmers, food producers and vendors.

“This relationship reflects what Godwin Mercado was created to do: bring people together around fresh food and community,” said Krashawn Martin, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Wyoming. “University of Michigan Health-West’s support helps make the farmers market a place that’s welcoming and focused on healthy living.”

As part of the collaboration, UM Health-West will end the Thursday farmers market previously held on its campus.

“We’re excited to support the Godwin Mercado Farmers Market in its first season,” said Katie Hubbard, U-M Health Regional Community Engagement Manager. “This sponsorship allows us to continue encouraging access to fresh food while supporting a market built for the Wyoming community.”
