About
Urban Village Farmers' Market Association, a Non-profit Mutual Benefit Corporation, was formed March 1997 to provide the best possible opportunity for farmers, food vendors, and community members to preserve, enhance, and enjoy regional fresh quality foods. UVFM's mission is to promote the family farm; help protect the local environment by sustaining and restoring surrounding greenbelt areas; and above all, to help build real community by fostering economic and social ties between producers and consumers.
We have enjoyed the role of bringing California's agriculture and urban communities together for their mutual benefit, increased communication, and shared education. Our presence as a key educational medium for schools, environmental causes, and health and nutrition programs has been rewarding.
The Certified Farmers' Markets have become important harmonious community meeting places, blending the various and diverse neighborhoods, which builds a strong sense of community. The Urban Village Farmers' Markets have been instrumental in many cities successful efforts to revitalize economically and socially depressed downtown areas.
