Glastonbury Farmers Market Mission
At the Glastonbury Farmers Market, our mission is to create a vibrant, community-focused marketplace that serves as a beacon for families, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers alike. We are dedicated to nurturing a space where the community can gather to support local farmers and artisans, fostering an environment of growth, sustainability, and inclusivity. Under the leadership of a newly elected board, we are committed to embracing innovative approaches and continuous improvement to meet the evolving needs of our community.
As a non-profit entity, we prioritize the reinvestment of our efforts and resources back into the community, aiming to enrich the lives of all participants and enhance the local economy. Our core values emphasize collaboration, respect, and empowerment, ensuring that every individual—regardless of their role—has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the market.
Together, we strive to make the Glastonbury Farmers Market a cornerstone of community life, where tradition meets progress for the betterment of all."
The Glastonbury Farmers Market is a charitable entity dedicated to bridging the gap between the residents of Glastonbury and the wholesome, locally-produced goods from small businesses in the area.
Every Wednesdays starting June 5, 2024 at 4pm to 7pm; a vibrant gathering of vendors, musicians, families and volunteers, it's the place to be 2155 Main St Glastonbury Town Hall, Glastonbury CT 06033, creating a welcoming environment for the farmer's market that's perfect for people and families of all ages to enjoy.
The involvement and collaboration of our community allies are essential for the ongoing success of our Market.
We invite families, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers alike, to come support our goal of facilitating connections between the local populace and the producers and artisans in our community.
