What does my donation fund?

  • Supports 120+ local farmers and vendors — keeping vendor fees low to help incubate small businesses.

  • Keeps our markets vibrant — lively community spaces with fresh food, live music, and opportunities to connect and learn.

  • Expands food access — through the Market Bucks program, customers can triple their SNAP EBT dollars

  • Feeds our community — our Nourishing Neighbors program purchases and redistributes over 17,000 lbs of produce from vendors to local food shelves.

  • Educates youth — the Power of Produce program engages kids with fun, hands-on activities that teach healthy eating and spark curiosity about where food comes from.

  • Builds long-term sustainability — ensuring our farmers markets continue to grow and strengthen our community for years to come.
