Invest In Your Community

Westfield Farmers Market is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to support our regional agricultural economy and provide our community members with access to affordable locally grown food. Your tax-deductible donation to WFM supports the cost of operating our community farmers market each season, for everything from replacing tents and tables, to website maintenance, to food access programs, all the way down to replacing lawn signs.

2024 Market highlights:

• 9,023 customers visited over the 19 week season.
• Over 500 households with low-income were served through our food access programs, a 20% increase over 2023.
• Ascentria Care Alliance and UMass Extension provided free nutrition education and healthy recipes utilizing fresh produce.
• Western MA Master Gardeners Association offered soil testing and provided information and education about home gardening.
• The Market introduced POP (Power of Produce) Club, a free program that encourages children ages 4 to 14 to participate in the local food system by creating opportunities for them to converse with farmers, participate in food and gardening related educational demonstrations and activities, and to try new fruits and vegetables.
• 18 Local musicians provided family friendly entertainment to market goers throughout the season.

WFM is working to further expand food access in our community, offer more educational events and programs like POP Club, but we can’t do it without your support. Please consider investing in your community by becoming a WFM sponsor or making a one time donation. Your tax deductible donation will make a difference to community members and local farmers by helping WFM reach its $20,000 fundraising goal for the 2025 season. Thank you! Donations are accepted online or can be mailed to Westfield Farmers Market, 36 Court St, Westfield MA 01085.
