The Urban Harvest Farmers Market (Houston, TX)
Public markets are not just places of commerce.
From increasing access to fresh, healthy food to
providing important revenue streams, markets
positively impact local businesses, governments
and residents.
Perhaps most important is the way markets
serve as public gathering places for people from
different ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic
communities. As one of the few places where
people comfortably gather and meet, markets
are our neighborhoods’ original civic centers.
