Fresh veggies heading your way!

There is a flurry of activity today down at Mercy Gardens. Our student interns are busy harvesting, bundling, washing, and drying produce which will be heading to Mercy Market in the morning.

This week, we have Garlic Scapes, Onions, Leeks, Kale, and radishes to offer.
These crops are grown literally in the heart of Decatur, between Edward, Grand, and Union Streets just down the road from The Good Samaritan Inn.

Produce will be for sale at Mercy Market starting at 8am at Preston Jackson Park. Come see us and many other great vendors this Saturday!

A big thank you to Decatur Magazine for featuring Farmer's Markets in this month's issue!

We are fortunate to have three strong local markets working to support the growers, makers, bakers, and entrepreneurs who help our community thrive. Each market offers something unique, creating more opportunities for residents to shop local, connect with neighbors, and keep dollars circulating close to home.

Another reason to celebrate? All three markets accept LINK tokens and vouchers, helping make fresh, local foods more accessible to everyone.

Be sure to visit each market this summer and experience what makes them special. The season officially kicks off this Saturday, June 6, at 8:00 a.m. for both Mercy Market and the Decatur Central Park Farmers' Market!

Shop local. Support local. See you at the markets! 🌽🥕🎶☀️

Mercy Market’s 2026 season kicks off in just one month—and we can’t wait to welcome you back!

Join us every Saturday from June 6 through October 10 as we celebrate the incredible local growers, makers, and creators who bring our market to life.

You’ll find a vibrant mix of locally sourced meats, fresh produce, baked goods, drinks, handmade art, and live music each week. We’ll also have monthly bounce houses and plenty of fun activities for kids sprinkled throughout the season.

One of the highlights of Mercy Market is our LINK booth. Guests can use their LINK card to receive tokens for purchases at our market, the Downtown Decatur Farmers Market, and the Richland Farmers Market. Even better, every dollar swiped is matched with coupons to use on fresh produce—making it easier for everyone to enjoy healthy, local food.

We’re proud to support our local growers and makers, and we’re counting down the days until we can gather again. See you this summer! 🌱
