In honor of Earth Day, the City of Pittsburgh is planning its first Earth Market and needs your help. Earth Market is a week-long farmer’s market that provides residents with Pittsburgh’s green resources and showcases local vendors. If you are part of a green organization or business, we invite you to participate in our week-long event, beginning April 23. 

Earth Market will promote issues of environmental protection, offer residents valuable resources on issues of sustainability and promote the growth of local green businesses.
