ABOUT US

The New Baltimore Farmers Market is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization whose purpose is to provide a link to local foods, farmers, and artisans, with supportive access to fresh foods for all consumers, while educating, sharing and encouraging the health and economic benefits of local foods, entrepreneurship, and activities with partnerships and volunteers from the Macomb / St. Clair County areas

The NBFM Philosophy

Understanding that EACH FARMERS MARKET has its own "culture" and rules...We are a "Handmade / Homemade / Homegrown" criteria market, with a few exceptions. While some of our farmers choose to sell ONLY what they grow, we are, currently, NOT a "grower only " market, and have never been.

Our philosophy is that we support local farmers/producers to build their business & provide the desired products (produce) in the best way they know how and support them in that effort. Our farmers grow what are considered "specialty crops" - these are foods that. you normally see at your grocery store in the produce department. Our farmers have their own crop list and their own growing practices. We, as a market, do not "police" products OR growing practices but do adhere to a 75/25 rule, since our inception in 2007.

We do understand that at times, the public will desire, and demand produce and products that may not be seasonally OR locally available, so there may be some exceptions to this rule from time to time. To encourage the growing and selling of local farm products, the NBFM Board of Directors has determined that our vendors must grow 75% of what they sell but can be a re-seller for up to 25% of the products in their stall on a given market day. To add diversity to the market, exceptions may be given for unique products with the approval of the Board.

A very important component of the success of this market is for the SHOPPER/CUSTOMER to ask questions of the farmers in order to satisfy their personal expectations.

In short: Know your Farmer ~ Know Your Food!

We are a Non-Profit Community Organization

The New Baltimore Farmers Market is an independent market ~ a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Community Organization. While we are not part of the City of New Baltimore, the Anchor Bay Chamber, the New Baltimore Business Alliance, or the New Baltimore DDA; we value and rely upon the relationships we have established with local groups, city departments, officials, and employees. We strive to continue to grow & provide the best market to our community that we can. We thank everyone for their ​continued support.
