SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Interested in supporting Farmed & Forged?
The ultimate goal of this market is to provide an outlet for the community to come together regularly. Patrons have the opportunity to source food and goods that are farmed or handcrafted ("forged") locally while getting to know the producers of the products they are consuming. This both supports the local economy and fosters the relationship between the producer and consumer.
Additionally, different nonprofits that serve our community are showcased at the market each month. During our first regular season, over $4,500 was raised and donated to local nonprofits
