Mission Statement: Our mission is to promote local, sustainable and organic agriculture, increasing economic opportunities for farmers, urban youth, small businesses and food artisans. To offer experiential learning about and access to healthy local foods, and build a vibrant gathering place for Minneapolis residents and visitors.
As part of the application process, vendors are required to submit a description of their Production Philosophy and Practices, as well as sign in agreement on the MCFM Sustainability Statement. Preference is given to growers and vendors who use sustainable practices in producing and manufacturing their goods. Organic certification is not required, though respected and encouraged.
