As part of Mill City Farmers Market (MCFM)’s mission to inspire and nurture a healthy community, we are happy to offer mission-aligned nonprofits and local, small businesses space to share their work through tabling at the market. MCFM receives lots of interest from local organizations in having a presence at the market, and we typically only can accommodate a limited number of mission-aligned organizations each season.
Community Booths are booked two to three months prior to the start of the market season and will be assigned on a case-by-case basis. Organizations will be given preference based on this scoring criteria.
General Information
- Outdoor Saturday markets typically have between 5,000 and 10,000 visitors
- Market dates and times are listed below. You are required to arrive a half hour before the start of the market and remain at your booth until the end of the day (with breaks for grocery shopping, of course!)
- At the outdoor Saturday markets, we offer community booths one 10’ x 10’ tent, one 6’ table and a large chalkboard sign. You are welcome to fill the space with additional items, per approval from market management (Please note: our market is situated in an extremely windy location.)
Non-profit organizations are eligible to be community booths at the market. Organizations and businesses that are interested in supporting the market further may be interested in market sponsorship.
Non-Profit Organizations
- These are typically reserved for grass roots non-profit organizations that share resources and information with our community.
- Priority is given to organizations whose work aligns with our mission to support a healthier community through partnerships, educational programming, and support for organic farmers and local food producers.
- Mission-aligned (local food, farmers, and sustainability)
- Priority given to Downtown and Mill District neighbors
- Priority given to uplifting diverse local voices and efforts
- Annual budget of $1M or less
- No selling products. Sharing information about the organization and providing free education & materials or offering a service, activity, game or giveaway
Political Groups
- The Mill City Farmers Market does not allow political soliciting, promoting, tabling, campaigning or any form of canvassing at its markets. Our goal is to support farmers and other local businesses and political canvassing often distracts patrons from that goal.
