The Camp Washington Farmers Market is a partnership between the Camp Washington Urban Revitalization Corporation (CWURC) and Wave Pool.

Two years after opening The Welcome (M)Art with the help of an Impact 100 grant, Wave Pool, in partnership with the Camp Washington Urban Revitalization Corporation (CWURC) launched a farmers market to bring regular food access to Camp Washington. 

For many years, Camp Washington has been considered a food dessert due to the lack of food resources in our neighborhood. Many neighborhood organizations have stepped up, such as Welcome Project with their free meals, Washington Church of Christ with their food pantry and the Free Fridge, but this has not solved the issue of our residents not being able to purchase produce in the neighborhood. The Camp Washington Farmer’s Market is a temporary solution to a long term issue.

During the 2022 Summer Season, The Camp Washington Farmers Market was hosted every Thursday in Valley Park. There were farmers, bakers, crafters, and other vendors are selling their goods from 4-6pm. Wave Pool hosted an art activity each week for kids and adults alike and shoppers enjoyed live music.
