From our Articles of Incorporation:
The Anacortes Farmers Market (AFM) is a community-based organization developed exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Specifically, the AFM (a) supports the education of the community about sustainable agriculture and local commerce, (b) lessens the burden of the local government through programs which bring affordable, local produce to the underprivileged (e.g. EBT programs) and supporting local commerce and tourism, (c) lessens neighborhood tensions through fostering community relations, and (d) combating community deterioration through the support of local commerce, especially local farmers.
The AFM is governed by our Board of Directors. The AFM Board works hard to address the needs of the vendors and the community. The Board consists of 7 volunteer members who are elected to 2 year terms. The board is open to input and strives to communicate openly with all our vendors and the public.
Board Meetings are held every first Wednesday of each month at the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce Meeting Room at 10am. Minutes to all Board Meetings are public and available upon request.
