HARVEST SOCIAL | 2023
MILL CITY FARMERS MARKET CHARITABLE FUND
COMMUNITY CELEBRATION & FUNDRAISER
The Harvest Social is Mill City Farmers Market’s annual benefit gathering leaders, innovators, influencers and supporters of local food. The evening funds their Charitable Fund programming including educational cooking demonstrations and nutrition internships, as well as their food access and produce donation efforts, and their Next Stage Grant programming. This work would not be possible without the support of our community.
Gathered at long farm tables in the historic Mill City Museum Courtyard, new friends were made and all connected with neighbors, supporters, and stakeholders passionate about our community, health, the environment, and our local, regenerative food system.
YOUR IMPACT
TICKETS FOR THE HARVEST SOCIAL INCLUDE A DONATION TO THE MARKET’S CHARITABLE FUND
In 2017, Mill City Farmers Market founded a sister Charitable Fund 501(c) nonprofit to support and expand our mission-driven work and deepen our impact as an anchor in the local food system. The Charitable Fund enable us to:
Expand experiential learning opportunities. Providing consumers with hands-on learning and a direct connection to the source of their food, educates and empowers them to support a local, sustainable and resilient food economy.
Increase grants to local farmers and food makers. Investing in local farmers through our Next Stage Grant Program promotes biodiversity, reduces pesticide and herbicide use, produces food with greater nutritional content, and benefits the environment. Money spent with local growers and food makers also stays close to home and is reinvested within the community.
Promote access to healthy, local and sustainable food. Your support helps us expand our Greens for Good food donation program and additional access work in our community.
Collaborate with partners to leverage our collective resources. Working together, we have a greater impact. With increased investment, we can grow partnerships to support a sustainable, local food economy.
And grow innovative approaches and solutions as a leader in the field. In this dynamic, rapidly changing industry, we continue to advance innovative ideas to support a robust local food system.
