Dear Local Leaders, Friends, and Neighbors,
In 2026 we celebrate 24 years that the Trumansburg Farmers’ Market has brought local growers, artists & crafters, food entrepreneurs, and the area’s best musicians to our Village Park. As our Market continues to grow and change, we need new ways to support our local community. Three years ago, we introduced our indoor Winter Market and transitioned the Harvest and Holiday markets indoors, too, transforming the colder months into a vibrant gathering place for local vendors and the community. We are so proud that the Tburg Farmers’ Market provides a safe, welcoming, vibrant community space all year long!
The 2026 season is well underway with the winter market, hosted at the American Legion. We’re eagerly anticipating our outdoor season and we have exciting news to share. This year, along with the offerings you know and love, we have created a new Community Nourishment Program to support those in our community who may be most impacted by current economic hardship (more details in the attached material).
To expand the ways we can serve the market and the community requires a new way to raise funds beyond the limited advertising sponsorships allowed by the Village. We have launched a new organization - Friends of the Trumansburg Farmers’ Market - that will work in partnership with the Village committee that oversees market operations. Friends of TFM will support the market’s music program, the Community Nourishment Program, and other educational/recreational initiatives. Friends of TFM is partnering with a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Pathways to Equity, to accept donations that are tax deductible for our donors. This partnership also enables us to apply for grant funding.
Both the Farmers’ Market Board and Friends of TFM are powered by volunteers who bring together the music and other community programming that define the market experience. All sponsor support goes directly into these programs. We hope you will continue to support the Trumansburg Farmers’ Market as you have in years past. Your generosity sustains a treasured institution of culture and community right here in our own backyard.
With your support, the Trumansburg Farmers’ Market will continue to provide free, community programming in a vibrant and welcoming space for everyone. For more information on sponsorship and donation opportunities, please click the button below.
With gratitude for all you do,
The Trumansburg Farmers’ Market Board of Directors & Friends of the Trumansburg Farmers’ Market
