Clark Park Farmers Market will soon have a new footprint, according to a recent announcement by The Food Trust, the organization that runs the market. Beginning Saturday, Aug. 12 the market will slightly move and operate on the Chester Avenue sidewalk on the park’s North Side, which is between Baltimore and Chester.

After the move the market, which has so far operated along 43rd Street, will have an L shape – it will occupy the southern half of 43rd Street and the sidewalk along the north side of Chester Avenue.

The new location of the market will be permanent due to the construction of the apartment building at 43rd and Baltimore. It will remain in effect after the construction is complete.
