Shopping at the farmers’ market is about developing and strengthening communities.

“… [demonstrate that] cooking from scratch, home-cooked meals are good for people, families, communities, the regional economy, the environment, our democracy. ”

Farm to City operates local farmers markets that provide communities with a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products; their markets also feature foods made from local ingredients prepared by food artisans. This project seeks proposals to increase social engagement and civility by communicating these values through the market culture and environment.
