COMMUNITY CELEBRATION & FUNDRAISER
Join the Mill City Farmers Market as they gather around the table for a dinner prepared by Chef Nettie Colón, in celebration of our beautiful farmer's market community!
Gather in the historic Mill City Museum Courtyard for a social hour featuring craft cocktails and music by world-renowned jazz singer Lila Ammons, followed by a market-to-table dinner highlighting yesterday's farm-fresh ingredients. The live auction and fund-a-need support their Next Stage Grant Program for local, sustainable farmers and food makers.
Bring your friends or make new ones at while gathering around their shared tables. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with neighbors and stakeholders who are passionate about our community, health, and the environment.
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 their mission-driven work and deepen their impact as an anchor in the local food system. The Charitable Fund enables MCFM 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 their 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 the MCFM expand their Greens for Good food donation program and additional access work within our community.
Collaborate with partners to leverage our collective resources. Working together, there is greater impact. With increased investment, MCFM 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, MCFM continues to advance innovative ideas to support a robust local food system.
