We have some news to share!
After three seasons, the Community Development Partnership (CDP) is transferring the ownership and management of the Orleans Winter Farmers
'
Market to the
Orleans Farmers' Market
, Inc. The two groups co-managed the Market during the recently completed winter season. Together, they have decided that the Orleans Farmers' Market will take on the ownership and management of the Market next winter. The Orleans Farmers' Market will now be a year-round market.
The Orleans Winter Farmers' Market was established in 2014 as an economic development initiative of the CDP to provide access to locally grown produce and agricultural products, while raising the visibility and availability of local agriculture on the Lower Cape.
CDP Executive Director, Jay Coburn said, "The CDP has a history of developing and delivering programs to fulfill an identified need within the community. We saw an opportunity to provide growers and producers with a place to sell year-round, and for consumers to access local produce and products throughout the winter. As the Market established itself, a partnership with the Orleans Farmers' Market was a natural progression. They have a long-standing history in the community. Transitioning the Market to them was the next logical step. We're pleased they'll be incorporating the winter market into their fold."
We'd like to share our deep appreciation to some significant supporters for making the Orleans Winter Farmers' Market possible. Thank you to Cape Cod Healthcare who demonstrated their commitment to the health of our community through their title sponsorship of the Market. Thank you to the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program for investing in the growth of local growers and food producers. Thank you Nauset Regional Middle School for sharing their space and providing a comfortable community setting for the Market. And thank YOU for your patronage of the Market.
