Your Impact

Tickets for the Harvest Social include a donation to the market’s Charitable Fund.

The Mill City Farmers Market Charitable Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit created to support and expand our mission and deepen our impact as an anchor in the local food system. The Charitable Fund enables us to:

Expand access to nutritious, local, sustainably-produced food through our Greens for Good food donation program and SNAP/EBT Market Bucks matching program which triple matches grocery dollars for our community members who experience food insecurity.
Fund grants to local farmers and food makers through our Next Stage and Hardship Grant Programs, supporting local, regenerative farmers and food producers in both good times and bad.
Provide experiential learning opportunities for all ages in a thriving, inclusive gathering place with a direct connection to the source of one’s food; empowering support for a local, sustainable and resilient food economy.
Host free opportunities for movement by offering yoga & movement classes in partnership with local studios on Saturdays during the outdoor season
Build small businesses by providing a primary weekly marketplace, training on local sourcing and connections with other vendors, building brand recognition, market setup and audience.
Collaborate with partners like the Farmers Markets of Minneapolis Collaborative to leverage our collective resources that support a sustainable, local food economy rooted in abundance and community.
Grow innovative approaches and solutions that sustain and grow a thriving local food system and community through lowering waste, uplifting marginalized communities and funding sustainable research.
