To the latter
end, FARM partners with other organizations to sponsor and produce
activities that benefit both associations, Breakfast with the Farmer’s
Market, and the Lavender Festival to name a couple. That FARM has
consistently moved to achieve these purposes is shown by the fact that a
sizable percentage of members have been selling at the markets for ten years
or more. Three members have been selling for at least twenty years. One of
the original incorporators is still actively selling at the markets.
FARM markets
enjoy an ever-growing base of satisfied customers. For the 2007 marketing
year FARM markets had gross receipts of over $342,500. FARM’s markets
provide an experience for their patrons, not simply an opportunity to buy
fresh locally grown food. Patrons have an opportunity to become a part of
the growing backlash against corporate food production, processing and
distribution. FARM is bent on supporting sustainable agricultural practices
that value all uses of the lands entrusted to its members.
FARM is always
looking for producers who are dedicated to providing quality produce and
value added products to the public at a fair price. If you would like to
explore the possibility of a farm membership, please tour our Membership
page, read the requirements and rules. If you can meet them please download
the Membership Application, complete it, and forward with the appropriate
payments, as well as copies of any certifications and inspection reports
required, to the Secretary-Treasurer.
We invite you
to visit our site often. We intend to make it a valuable source of
information to each visitor. |
