Community Food Connections

Community Food Connections (CFC) is dedicated to making quality, nutritious food more accessible through the Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market (DPFM) and vital partnerships. As an essential resource to our local economy, the CFC mission is focused on strengthening small farmers and businesses that foster a sustainable food system and produce healthy products for the local community.

The Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market is on the move! As we look to expand and feed more people in the growing downtown Phoenix area, we will be transitioning in the next month to a new location with new partners and a larger map. Please show your support of our favorite farmers market by donating today. Here are some examples of how your donations fuel our mission:

Protect Our Local Economy | Provide relief to businesses of all sizes and stimulate the local economy. Growers selling locally create 13 full-time farm operator jobs per $1 million in revenue earned. Those that do not sell locally create 3. Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market supports over 100 local businesses through the farmers market.

Increase Food Access | CFC provides the community access to fresh, wholesome food year-round at our weekly market.  Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market provides people the choice to shop for real food.  We also accept EBT and P-EBT and connect customers with a dollar-for-dollar match to shop Arizona-grown produce.  Additionally, qualifying seniors and families can receive up to $50 in Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons.

Protect Our Food Security | Ensure your farmers have supplies to plant food for the next season and help preserve Arizona's rural livelihoods and farmland. Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market provides one of the only low-barrier entry points for beginning farmers, allowing them to start small, test the market, and grow their businesses. year-round the market is a community platform for producers of all sizes to sell healthy products to the community.

In order to ensure Community Food Connection's longevity, diverse sources of funding are essential. Money that comes from our own community empowers us to transform food access and strengthen Arizona's local food system.

We need your support. All month we're calling on our community to give your voice and share our #AZGivesDay fundraiser!

Testimonials

"Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market is the main marketplace we come to sell our produce to the community. Last year we sold over 18,000 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruit downtown, we love feeding the community healthy food! But the farmers market is more, it's our community of customers and businesses that we love to see every week. Our customers come and visit and talk with us because we care so much about them. They are our market family!" Jawn Golo (Golo Family Farm, vendor since 2010)
