A city-supported market in the midst of what’s considered a Winston-Salem food desert is set to reopen for the season Friday. The Liberty Street Market off of U.S. 52 provides a space for local urban farmers in an area where there are few supermarkets. And this year, it’s expanding. Moriah Gendy is a food resilience program manager for the city of Winston-Salem. She says this year’s market will have a longer season and will be weekly instead of every other week.
