SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Interested in supporting Farmed & Forged?
The ultimate goal of this market is to provide an outlet for the community to come together regularly. Patrons have the opportunity to source food and goods that are farmed or handcrafted ("forged") locally while getting to know the producers of the products they are consuming. This both supports the local economy and fosters the relationship between the producer and consumer.
Additionally, different nonprofits that serve our community are showcased at the market each month. During our first regular season, over $4,500 was raised and donated to local nonprofits
NONPROFIT BENEFICIARY
Each month, a local nonprofit is selected as the market beneficiary. Funds are raised through vendor sales and monetary donations.
During the 2023 season, we are proud to have raised over $4,500 for Michiana Humane Society, Paladin, Inc., Family Advocates, The Play for Jake Foundation and La Ventana Nonprofit Culinary School.
