- to inform consumers of local food related events taking place in the community
2. Accessibility: to provide an avenue for vendors of local foods for resale. To provide consumers looking for healthier food choices to purchase fresh foods and foods of hard to find items at reasonable cost. To bring consumer and producer together.
3. Local Economy: to promote local economy, helping farmers and local businesses succeed. To increase the trickle effect of finances that happens when a profitable community business is successful.
Our goal is to provide consumers with top quality produce which is locally grown (with in 100km or 60miles) that is as natural as possible. This includes organically grown, pesticide / herbicide free, chemical free, home garden grown products and local farm products.
While local artisans are permitted to sell at the market; their products are closely evaluated to ensure market vision and integrity is kept. All artisan craft-work is handmade, local and not wholesaled.
