Want to help make the Farmers Market Pavilion a reality? Help us progress toward our goal through a donation of time, money, or both. Read on to learn more about who's involved, and where you can fit in.
Who's Involved?
The Farmers Market Pavilion is a joint public/private venture between three organizations:
Sustainable Farms & Communities (SF&C) is a local non-profit group dedicated to supporting local community by fostering economic development through education about food and farming. SF&C leads the capital campaign for the Market Pavilion.
The Columbia Farmers Market is a membership organization of over 70 local farmers, producers, and artisans dedicated to offering fresh, local products to Columbia and the surrounding area.
The City of Columbia supports the pavilion project and will take responsibility for maintaining and programming the structure as a community resource through the Parks & Recreation department.
