Pelican Market is a farmers market reboot.
Over the years the farmers market has been right on the sidewalk during the summer season. Spurred on by a action planning process called Local Foods, Local Places in fall, of 2020, a community team identified a permanent market space as a top priority to support local farms and support business development in Pelican Rapids.
Ryan Pesch of Lida Farm took leadership to create a more permanent location and reorganize the market. Many community partners have contributed to the effort.
Pelican Market is a project of the Local Foods, Local Places Community Action Plan.
