Why Join the Friends of the Northside Farmers Market?

The Northside Farmers Market is a non-profit community enterprise. It is one of the newest and fastest growing farmers' markets in Dane County. In keeping with the innovative spirit of Madison's Northside, we are surpassing what defines the traditional farmers' market. Our fundamental principles include:

• Providing an abundant selection of high quality, locally grown foods.
  The market accepts Quest, WIC and Senior FMNP vouchers.
    
• Supporting our local agricultural entrepreneurs who are increasingly important
  today in ensuring that we have the best and safest food possible.
    
• Educating the community about traditional foods and the history of local
  agriculture in an attempt to preserve (and expand upon) our rich heritage.
    
• Promoting nutrition and the market by hosting dinners for neighborhood
  groups and seniors.

Going beyond the traditional market concept, the NFM is also a local gathering spot with special events, educational opportunities and lively entertainment throughout the season. The market grounds are specifically designed with a community tent where neighbors can meet and socialize. Markets are enhanced by the presence
of Northside community groups.

All of this is only sustained by the generous contributions of friends and volunteers like you who make it possible!
