Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

To promote local food access to all community members, regardless of income, to support local farmers with a direct to consumer sales outlet, and to support consumer to producer relationship and education.

  • Farmers Market - Our organization provides a low-cost space for local farmers, particularly beginning and young farmers, and local food producers with a place to sell directly to consumers at a seasonal weekly market. The market is community focused and aimed at fostering connection between farmer/food producers and consumers. To foster these relationships, in addition to the direct to consumer aspect, we host small community events, community meals, educational courses, and children's activities. The market also allows our farmers to participate in both state and federal programs, such as SNAP, SNAP Match, and LFPA, which they would otherwise have difficulty participating in. It is difficult to measure the exact number of persons benefitted different community members and vendors come each week. Population of the surrounding communities that have access to this market is around 20,000.

    Expenses $50,344 · Grants $50,721

  • Local Foods Purchasing Assistance Program (LFPA) - This federally funded program allows the market to purchase fresh, unprocessed produce, meat, seafood, and eggs at full market value from vendors and donate that food directly to local anti-hunger agencies. This program greatly reduces food waste, feeds our community, and provides security to our farmers. The number of persons benefitting from this program is around 3,000, according to anti-hunger agency data and our vendor data.

    Expenses $17,407 · Grants $15,052

  • SNAP Match - Using state funds, as a market, we are able to match SNAP recipient dollars by up to $40 for each recipient at each market. This program allows us to positively impact local food access for all and also has an extremely positive economic impact on our participating local farmers and food producers. Between SNAP customers served and farmers/food producers participating via our market, we estimate this program impacted around 200 individuals.

    Expenses $5,513 · Grants $5,671

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 19 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
