Why We Need Your Support

As a nonprofit organization with the mission to serve as a community gathering place where local producers and artisans can offer fresh agricultural and related products, the Memphis Farmers Market relies on your support to meet and grow our goals:

Memphis Farmers Market Goals:
1. Improve the community's nutrition options
2. Assist area farmers, producers, and artisans with sustainable business opportunities
3. Generate a sense of local pride while furthering the economic development of our community
4. Provide a vehicle to educate the community on nutrition and good health.

The Memphis Farmers Market is a volunteer led, not-for-profit market that operates on a small budget that must support a large array of operating expenses that include insurance, permits, licenses, signage, utilities, site improvements, marketing, promotions, a part-time market manager, and more. We meet these needs through vendor fees, fundraising, foundation grants, sponsorships, and “Friend of MFM” donations. We utilize your financial support to implement our marketing, operations, site development, health education and community relations programs to achieve our mission goals.
