Indoor Farmers Market Pilot Launches on Buffalo’s East Side

A warm, indoor market aims to keep fresh food local all winter long.

A market that doesn't shut down for snow

An indoor farmers market pilot is bringing produce, prepared foods, and pantry staples under one roof, with a focus on affordability and convenience for East Side families.

Vendors include hydroponic growers, local bakers, and community kitchens.

How it works

  • Weekly indoor market hours
  • EBT/SNAP acceptance and matching incentives
  • Rotating nutrition demos and tastings

Organizers say the goal is simple: make buying fresh food as routine as stopping for gas.
