Miller Beach Farmers Market

History

Begun in 2008 the Miller Beach Farmers Market was originally an initiative of a single, concerned citizen and is now sponsored by the Miller Beach Arts and Creative District, the Farmers' Market seeks to promote a sustainable local economy and allow residents access to high-quality, fresh produce and gourmet foodstuffs.

Specialties

The Miller Farmers Market is an extension of the Miller Beach Arts and Creative District. It is a not for profit endeavor that is self sustaining and relies on vendor fees and fund raising to cover expenses. The volunteer staff is unpaid. In other communities, Farmers Markets are staffed and funded by the Parks and Recreation departments, with support from public services; currently, that is not possible in our community. We rely on volunteer workers and must provide on-site trash removal, sanitation facilities, and landscaping. Additionally, volunteers work on Market Development and Outreach during the week. It is our hope and intention to see this effort grow and develop into a community space for meeting and greeting on a weekly basis from June, July and August. We would like to hear cost-neutral ideas for future markets. This is your market. You can best support it by stopping by on Sundays from 11 am to 1 pm, June, July and August. Come Buy !
