Who we are
Mass Farmers Markets (MFM), founded in 1978, is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization in Massachusetts who partners with farmers, consumers, and communities to improve the health of individuals, strengthen community vitality, and enhance local farm viability through farmers markets.
MFM’s work and programs focus on three main areas: support for farmers markets across the state through training, operational consulting, advocacy, and promotion; promotion and support of food access and food security via farmers markets throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and production of the Copley Square Farmers Market in Boston, the Central Square Farmers Market in Cambridge, and the Davis Square Farmers Market in Somerville. Today, we remain the only organization working state-wide on behalf of farmers markets, the communities in which they are located, and the farmers who rely on them as a crucial source of income.
