Big thanks for making CFM's 20th season a historic smash hit!

We've grown in ways that set us up for an even brighter future. In 2023, we...

🛒 Hosted over 20 vendors, adding more farms and prepared food options than last year.

🍎 Enhanced local food access by becoming authorized to accept SNAP/EBT, and continued other food programs.

🎶 Expanded arts programming and increased musician pay. We hosted over 25 live music acts, and each week we presented hands-on art activities to people of all ages, led by CFM artist & mentor Joe Lee Davidson, and other guest artists.

👪 Increased participation in PoP Kids Club, offering weekly activities and $2 tokens to over 200 children, putting over $1,000 into the pockets of local farmers.

🤲 Nearly doubled Community Spotlight Booth participation, hosting more than 40 appearances by local non-profits & businesses.

📈 Substantially increased sales, particularly sales of produce and farm goods.

🏆 Shattered our all-time one-day vendor sales record multiple times this season.

📱 Nearly tripled our social media reach and engagement on Facebook and Instagram.

💰 Boosted revenue without raising vendor fees, thanks to arts & community grants, donors, and sponsors.

👩‍🏫 Welcomed Carnation resident Sara Hughes as our Enrichment Activities Coordinator. In the off-season, she will be planning more new & exciting offerings for 2024.

Success isn't free, and as a nonprofit charity, every bit counts. Hosting more vendors and shoppers means more fun, but also more costs. CFM is more than a market; it's your hub for essential food, culture, and those tight-knit community vibes.

If you love your community, please chip in to keep the good food and the good times flowing. Small acts make a big splash. Donate on our Washington Gives page, or check out our website for other ways to help.
