Concho Farmer's Market
Concho Farmers Market, Inc.
In January 2009, the Concho Farmers Market became a 501(c)6 non-profit corporation to support local farming and to better serve our community. We are continuing to grow, and being our own legal entity will give us the opportunity to apply for grants and to lobby for a change in the way locally produced goods are sold to consumers.
Mission Statement
The purpose of this non-profit corporation is to support local farming by improving business conditions by creating and building a community
market to be a profitable outlet for local agricultural producers, artisans, crafters, food vendors and their goods. This shall be accomplished
by operating a farmers' market in Concho, Arizona and providing facilities, sites and services to improve business conditions for local agricultural
producers and local cottage industries so that they may sell their products directly to consumers.
Why Buy Produce and Other Goods at our Market?
Buying locally produced vegetables assures you of getting produce in it's freshest state, with most of the produce harvested just hours before it's brought to the market. You will also find unusual varieties of produce that you won't find at the supermarket, all with an exceptional taste. You can meet your farmer face to face and ask questions about how they grow their crops or how they produce the other products they may sell. By supporting your local farmer, artisan or crafter you are helping to ensure the existence of farms and handmade products for future generations.
So come by and hang out for awhile, talk with our vendors, find something unusual, or just enjoy our cooler than the valley weather!
