Good Farmer Fund

Our farmers make it all possible.

Without them, we would not have a market, we could not serve our community. But in times of crisis - extreme weather, wildfires, pandemics - there is no guarantee that the produce our farmers so carefully picked will get sold. In fact, most days when we choose to stay inside for our health, our farmers are out there working even if they don't have a market to attend. They are out there for us, so we need to be there for them. 

​

We developed the Good Farmer Fund in 2018. Supported entirely by donations from our community members, we were able to grant $5250 to our farmers during the 2020 season to assist with replacing tents broken by the wind, replacing income lost to smoke-related market cancellations, and to cushion the blow of a global pandemic. In total, since it's founding, the Good Farmer Fund has provided $15,376 in relief grants to farmers.

​

When the Good Farmer Fund is in surplus (after some good growing seasons) we adminster the funds as an investment grant for tools and equipment that expand our farmers' growing capacity. The Equipment and Infrastructure Grant gave an additional $6,000 to local farms in its first year.
