The mission of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market is to promote understanding and participation in a local food system that supports sustainable production and increases access to local products.

Nutritious food is a right. FFM strives to make food financially and physically accessible to all community members.
FFM will keep program requirements simple, maintain reasonable fees, and recruit volunteers to support local growers and producers.
FFM must be welcoming to all citizens. As an organization, we strive for diversity and inclusivity.
FFM will conduct outreach to all community members to ensure everyone knows how and where to access fresh, local food.
FFM will conduct outreach to promote its mission to all community members.
Education will be provided to all FFM program participants to create a better personal understanding of our local food system.
FFM believes that food production should be environmentally conscious and done locally, using sustainable methods.
