Downtown Napa Farmers Market Corporation

Organization Description

The Napa Farmers Market is a year-round California Certified Farmers Market 501(3) nonprofit organization. Our market showcases local farmers, food producers and artisan vendors. Situated at the southern gateway to Napa Valley’s world-famous Wine Country, the Napa Farmers Market is easily accessible from downtown Napa and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our mission is to support local farmers and provide a place for the community to learn about and purchase farm-fresh, sustainably grown produce, specialty foods and artisan goods directly from the source. Educating the consumer, preserving the environment and providing a place for nonprofits to promote their causes are our key objectives. Our vision is to provide a gathering place where the community can come together, shop for their weekly groceries (and more), interact with local vendors, meet their neighbors, and learn how their purchases support small, family owned farms with sustainable agricultural practices.
