The HEAL Farm Markets are currently in full swing across Fort Wayne, bringing vibrant energy, community connection, and the peak harvest of the season directly to our neighborhoods. As a vital collaboration funded by the St. Joseph Community Health Foundation and Parkview Health, these summer markets offer a wonderful opportunity to experience the best of local agriculture at an affordable cost.

Building on the momentum of past years, particularly 2025 which distributed an estimated $75,000 in fresh, locally grown vegetables and drove over $50,449 in nutrition incentive redemptions, this season continues to make healthy eating accessible through the innovative “Doubling” initiative.

Highlights of the Season

• Dollar-for-Dollar Matching: We proudly match SNAP, WIC, and Senior produce vouchers. Veggie Rx, cash, and debit are also accepted.
• Diverse Harvests: Thirteen local farmers offer a rich mix of traditional American staples alongside specialty Asian and Burmese produce.
• Culturally Appropriate: On-site interpreters and engaging youth activities ensure every neighbor feels welcome to participate.
