Hello DFM Shoppers, 

After 16 months of operating without any of DFM’s events, educational programs, or partnerships, we are excited to bring back familiar and new events and programs to the market this fall. For us to reinstate DFM’s programs we need your help raising funds; we have a goal to raise $15,000 by August 8 to launch programs on Saturday, September 4. 

Your support helps bring back children events and programs like:

• Kids Chopped Competition;
• Fruit & Vegetable Tastings;
• Kids Day at the Market; and
• Youth-Owned Businesses at Market. 

Support also contributes to longstanding programs and partnerships like:

• Chef demos; 
• Salsa Showdown; 
• Chili Cook-Off;
• Food pantry partnerships;
• Nonprofit (tent with a cause) at Market; and
• Health and wellness events. 

DFM programs enhance shopper and vendor experiences and creates a community centered around local foods and goods every week. Your support helps DFM continue to support our community of 1,600 shoppers and 36 vendors per week and support our neighboring communities. 

Help us reach our goal of $15,000 by August 8 with a donation of $25 today.

With your generous help and support, we can bring DFM back fully with the programs and events we’ve grown to love!

Barbee Farms has watermelons, cantaloupes, and canary melons; Coldwater Creek Farm has red okra, blueberries, and eggplant; Updog Kombucha has ginger turmeric & peach basil on tap plus cans; and Batistini Farms has olive oil and aged balsamic vinegars.

If you choose pre-order and do not plan to shop in-person, you can skip the line and pick up your pre-order from the red Market Tent. Just give your name and who you pre-ordered from and our DFM volunteers will get your order for you.
