Washington University Medical Center is making it almost impossible for students, staff and visitors to its CWE campus to not eat healthy by sponsoring an on-site farmers’ market. Local purveyors like Biver Farms, Double Star Farms and Baalman’s Produce offer up a veritable cornucopia on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the plaza outside the Barnes & Noble bookstore, near the intersection of Forest Park and Euclid avenues. The market started operation last week and will run through Sept. 10, though there are plans in the works to extend it into October to take advantage of the full harvest.
