Sponsor the market
We are More than a market.
And you can help us be more. The Jamestown Farmers Market (JFM) is built on a legacy of supporting local farmers for over a century. The first city market dates back to 1912 with a group of farmers organizing weekly in Brooklyn Square. Through the decades different organizations, businesses, and community members have worked to sustain this keystone to the local agricultural economy.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization housed under St. Luke’s Episcopal Church of Jamestown, JFM relies on the support of grants, foundations, and sponsors like you to sustain our work to strength relationships between local producers and consumers by building community and creating equitable access to fresh food. To continue to providing access to farmers and customers alike, we need support from organizations and individuals like you! Sponsorship from business help fund all of the mobile and Saturday markets, staffing, operations, and continue to innovate to provide programming needed to help the community grow.
With over 20,000 customers and interactions in 2024, JFM is ideal for local businesses to connect, not just in Jamestown, but across the region. As many customers come to build community with each other and vendors, making your brand visible at JFM is an excellent way to promote the work you do.
Please consider sponsorship for your organization or your family this year.
