HAPPY HOLIDAYS !

IT’S THE SEASON OF GIVING 

 

GREENEVILLE FARMERS MARKET is a small NON-PROFIT that depends on outside Financial Support. Currently revenue from our  vendors only covers 60% of our cost. The remainder must come from the Community-At-Large. Giving a gift to Greeneville Farmers Market means supporting the dreams  of local farmers, food artisans, crafters and artist: Creating a  locally owned and operated working market where Producers can sell directly to their community and keep more of the profit in their own pockets. You are also helping them provide for their families by shopping with them each week, May to October at our physical market and Year Round, with our online market. Your gift will have a real impact on the communities we serve: Putting your donations to work in the fields, in the market and on to our tables across Greene County and East Tennessee. We are a 501©3 Non-Profit Organization that has been serving the Greene County area for over three decades.   YOUR GIFT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE !

We have needs each year, such as Rent, Insurance, Banking Fees, Office Supplies, Special Events Cost . Those are just a few of the cost in running a farmers market.
Can You Spare just $5 or more one time, or one time a month, to help us meet all these needs?

Or if you would rather Donate something on our wish list:
Tents for vendors who cannot afford  their own.
Tables for vendors and special events
Folding Chairs
Secure Storage Shed
Prizes, Gifts for any or all of our special events held during the market season.

Or Volunteer some of your time: 
Volunteers year round to help with office.  
Volunteers to plan and run events during the market season.
Volunteers to plan, set up and run a Childrens Corner each Saturday May to October and Wednesday’s July to September.
Just fill out the Volunteer Application or give Judy a call at 423-552-3023
