The announcement of the reopening of the MONTROSE HARVEST MARKET has been met with a collective "YAY!!!" as evidenced by the tremendous positive response on the MSPA social media pages.

The market is set to reopen THIS SUNDAY, May 17 from 8 am - 12 noon, in it's usual location, the 2300 block of Honolulu Ave. As longtime Market Manager MARK SHERIDAN says "We are eager to reintroduce the market to the community as your "Outdoor Grocery Store".
