Our mission is to promote community, local food and agricultural products through regular dynamic farmers markets. We work to:
*  Foster a broader availability and variety of locally grown produce and agricultural products. 
  
*  Encourage sustainable farming in the Canterbury area.
   
*  Create opportunities for direct exchange between farmers and consumers.
  
*  Enhance the quality of life in the Canterbury area with a community activity that fosters social gathering and interaction.
  
*  Preserve the Canterbury area's unique agricultural heritage.
We have been proud to see our Market community grow, and continue working to uphold our motto, "It takes a community to feed a community!"
