Our community is in great need of access to quality local food and a safe inclusive environment to promote community connections. We are looking to enhance market infrastructure, grow our youth program, low-income food access and enhance market operations.
The Dayton Farmers Market seeks to respond to needs within the food dessert for regular access to nourishing, local and affordable food options for the community. Not only is this an asset for our community but also promotes our farmers and small business owners, contributing to money staying locally. Our customers enjoy knowing where their food comes from and getting to know the farmer that produced that food.
The Dayton Farmers Market is run by small local farmers that are looking to expand the market to become a lasting Farmers Market. As a member of our community, we’d like to invite you to join us! Would you consider chipping in a donation to support our cause? With this help, we can make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
