The City of Davenport will receive a $100,000 grant to establish a year round farmers market. The funding comes from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farmers Market Promotion Program.
The funding will be used to improve infrastructure at the Freight House Food Hub that will facilitate a year round market for local and regional foods, including refrigerated storage and value added processing and packaging equipment, infrastructure for electronic purchasing, and a certified kitchen incubator for educational training and classes for producers and consumers.
