    “Farmers Markets don’t just happen”

    Our market runs on community support. Thanks to sponsors and grants, we’ve grown our vendors, foot traffic, and programming.

    Last year, the Chamber’s Leadership Greer Class 45 raised over $25,000 to launch our Healthy Kids Program. This initiative gives all kids $5 vouchers for fresh produce, eggs, or honey, plus a free craft at each market. The result has been remarkable: kids discovering a love for fruits and vegetables, families making memories, and farmers benefiting from every redeemed voucher. Our foot traffic has nearly doubled! 

    To continue to fund all of our food access programs in 2026 (Healthy Kids, Double SNAP, Healthy Bucks, Senior Vouchers) we need your help. 

    When you sponsor our market, you continue a legacy of supporting our children and farmers, and teaching the next generation to love farm fresh produce.
