When the City Park Esplanade Fresh Market went dormant last year, Peter Wanberg and his wife Margo realized how much they missed the relationships they’d built up over the previous four years of being vendors there. So the duo organized their own food bazaar in the same location—City Park Farmers Market—to reconnect with other local producers and with the community.
“Our mission, and our passion, is to champion local food producers,” says Peter, who also owns Jubilee Roasting Co. (Margo is a co-founder of 3 Sisters Honey). “The biggest differentiator between our market and others is our focus on food and food-related vendors. Only a handful of the market’s more than 60 vendors are offering non-consumable products, but they’re still very closely tied to local agriculture.”
