UNC Farmers Market

UNC administers two year-round farmers markets.

United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC) Farmers Markets host two weekly, year-long farmers in the South Side of Scranton and Carbondale. Both markets accept SNAP/EBT and have support from the Food Bucks program.

To get involved with UNC Farmers Markets, contact Holly Yorkonis, Assistant Director of Community Revitalization at (272) 228-1366.

South Side Farmers Market

Saturdays from 10am – 1pm at 526 Cedar Avenue at the corner of Alder Street (outdoor location) and 509 Cedar Avenue (indoor winter location (mid Oct- mid May)

As part of our work to revitalize the South Scranton neighborhood, and to address a lack of local access to fresh, affordable food, UNC created the South Side Farmers Market in 2010. Since that time, the market has expanded to a year-round indoor/outdoor market that draws hundreds of people on a Saturday. The Market offers locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as eggs, meat, and baked goods.
