2026 Urban Farm Stand Markets
On Thursday evenings between 4 and 7 p.m., the Cultivate Hope Urban Farm Stand sells fruits and vegetables grown on our farm. Our stand will be open from May 21 until October 8. We may also occasionally offer Youth Development Program products for sale. Our Urban Farm Stand is located in Cedar Rapids’ Time Check area, and all of our produce is locally grown and pesticide-free.
Cultivate Community Markets
Held from 4-7 pm on the last Thursday in May-September, Cultivate Community Markets are celebrations of food, music, activities, and community. These fun-filled markets are held at our Cultivate Hope Urban Farm at 437 G AVE NW in Cedar Rapids.
We feature our own locally-grown produce, and our brick oven is blazing as we create pizzas to enjoy in our beautiful setting. We also have unique local vendors and musicians, plus a playground for kids at these family-friendly events!
This year, we will be offering a diverse range of experiences through our special themed evenings. Mark your calendar and come join in the fun!

Get Involved
The Cultivate Hope Mega Market needs your help! We welcome groups, organizations, or individual volunteers to volunteer in these specific areas of the market:
- Live music
- Activities and games
- Movement sessions
- Arts and crafts
Experience with any of these categories is an asset but is not required. If you have a pair of helping hands and an enthusiastic drive to make the market successful, we’d love for you to join us! Contact us to discuss volunteer opportunities.
