Market Stand

About the Market Stand

The Urban Homesteaders' League Market Stand will be an experiential learning space at the Union Square Farmers Market in Somerville, MA where visitors can learn skills for sustainable urban living and creative domesticating. Members of the UHL will lead skillshares on a wide variety of subjects, and visitors will also be able to take home free informational broadsides; swap items they've made or grown at the UHL Swap Table; browse the traveling UHL library; and meet other people interested in urban homesteading. The UHL marketstand is a collaborative project that was conceived and designed by artist and UHL founder Lisa Gross. A version of this project was presented in March 2010 at the Boston Museum of Science.

There are many ways to participate in and support the project:

The stand will take place on June 19th, 26th; July 17th, 31st; August 14th, 21st; September 11th, 25th; October 9th, 23rd, 30th. The market runs from 9am-1pm.
