On Wednesday, April 10th, members of the market community supported the Midtown Farmers Market in a new way – by dining out at Gandhi Mahal (3009 27th Ave S).

On the second Wednesday of every month, Gandhi Mahal will be generously donating 10% of all their profits for the night to the market. So mark your calendars, prepare your appetites, and enjoy delicious sustainable Indian food while helping the market continue its efforts to ensure equitable access to local, healthy food in our community. Thank you to all who attended on April 10th. We look forward to seeing you all at our next Dine Out for the Market event on May 8th!
