History:

Urban Harvest was founded in the spring of 2005 by a group of four women. All were North Dakota natives who moved out-of-state and then returned to Bismarck to raise families. Outdoor public marketplaces were thriving in the cities and towns where they had lived or visited. Such a marketplace here in Bismarck/Mandan could give this city the economic and cultural outlet it was lacking. And so, Urban Harvest was born. Great crowds and participation by vendors, musicians, community organizations, and shoppers alike made it clear that Urban Harvest was filling a niche, and that the community was supportive of its continued growth
