You've probably heard of a CSA or maybe you're already supporting a local farmer with a CSA membership. Now you can extend your support of the West Michigan food community by reserving your share of a CSM, or Community Supported Marketplace.
We'd like to introduce you to this unique opportunity to help support, preserve, and revitalize your city's Market, through becoming a member of the Fulton Street Farmers Market Community Supported Marketplace (CSM). Like a CSA, our CSM is designed to maintain a thriving community market in the heart of Grand Rapids! For just a small monthly gift, a tax-deductible CSM share will help the Fulton Street Farmers Market in the following ways: |
