Many of you have asked, “What can I do to support the market?”

 

You can invest in your local community and food system by making a donation today. Making a donation to the Market allows us to grow our mission to inspire a healthier community through partnerships, educational programming, and support for farmers and local food producers.

Your support enables us to:

  • Ensure the viability of a thriving, supportive marketplace for more than 100 small local farms and businesses who employ over 400 individuals and depend on us as their primary storefront.

  • Support the economic development of small local farms and food makers by providing vendors with guidance on marketing, regulations and operations.

  • Provide consumers with a direct connection to the source of their food, educates and empowers them to support a local, sustainable and resilient food economy.

  • ​Support Power Of Produce (PoP), a nationally recognized kids program as a way to empower kids to make healthy food choices and introduce them to where their food comes from. PoP seeks to develop the next generation of healthy eaters by empowering them to make healthy food choices!

  • Ensure access to healthy, sustainably-produced local food through our Market Bucks program, which stretches the buying power of shoppers using EBT cards by matching purchases 3:1 up to $10 at the market.

 

By donating at any level, you become part of a circle of supporters who are passionate about making a difference in the local food community.

We’d also like to say thank you for all of the ways you are committed to supporting a thriving local food community. It’s truly a team effort, and everything you do – from shopping at the market, getting to know your local farmer and food maker, making a donation, to simply spreading the word about why you support local food with a friend – has a reverberating impact.
