The Story Behind the Market Tables
There’s more to our markets than produce and pastries. We started with a love for local farms and a mission to build real community—one good neighbor, one market day at a time. Behind every market is a team that cares deeply about healthy food, sustainable choices, and the people we serve. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the scenes, this is where it all begins.
What Makes Us Different
We’re more than a farmers market—we’re part of the neighborhood. From community-focused events to flexible CSA programs, everything we do is built around connection, access, and real local impact. Here are a few things that set us apart:
Rooted in Neighborhoods
We brand each market by its local community name, creating a strong sense of place and belonging that keeps people coming back week after week.
Flexible CSA Memberships
Our CSA program is designed to fit your life, with credit-based options, pre-packed boxes, and EBT/SNAP pricing that makes fresh food more accessible.
Events That Bring People Together
From Strawberry Day to Community Shred Day, we host rain-or-shine events that make markets fun, family-friendly, and full of local flavor.
Support for Young Entrepreneurs
We give youth ages 12–18 a space to grow real businesses at our markets, offering mentorship, reduced fees, and hands-on learning they’ll carry for life.
Rain-or-Shine Reliability
Our markets don’t take days off for drizzle—our customers count on us, and we show up. That consistency builds trust and keeps the community connected.
A Focus on Sustainability
We encourage composting, food waste reduction, and partnerships that put the environment first—helping protect the land that feeds us all.
