Description

The St. Joseph Farmers' Market is a dedicated group of individuals committed to building a link between the St. Joseph community and area growers and producers by providing an enjoyable venue for purchasing fresh, local food directly from the grower.

Mission
The St. Joseph Farmers’ Market, founded in 2000 under the auspices of Healthy Community Partners, has these central purposes:

- Building community relationships by directly linking those who produce food with those who consume it.
- Providing local producers an opportunity for optimum economic return through direct marketing of their products.
- Ensuring local consumers an opportunity for fresh, healthy food which is the harvest of their own bio-region. Retaining local money in the local area by direct exchange among people.
- Providing a natural setting that invites people to meet and to enjoy the yield of what a community working together can offer.
- Educating people toward greater understanding of their interdependence upon one another and their ties with the earth, and, thereby, to an awareness that they are shareholders in sustaining this rural area.
