If you enjoy spending your Saturday mornings shopping at the Springfield Farmers Market, have you considered being a 2023 Market sponsor??
All sponsorship dollars go to supporting the logistics, staffing and continued maintenance of the farmers market and it's programs and materials including our EBT Doubling Program - without the continued support of local business and organizations, the market wouldn't be possible!
