The purpose of the outdoor market is to create food accessibility from local farms; educate patrons on how their food is grown; and ultimately stimulate the historic landmark's location with more programming and fun. Note that a part of the educational component includes tracing to the source all items for consumption, such as fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy products.
