Our Mission
As Morgan county grows, so does the need to support small and locally-owned businesses. It is the mission of the Morgan Farmers Markets to create opportunities for small business owners, local start-ups, and your neighbors' side-hustles to connect with the community. The Morgan Farmers Markets' 2024 mission is to increase awareness of the market series and its vendors through advertising and community outreach efforts while maintaining the community's culture and paying homage to the heritage that makes Morgan county so special.
About
In its first 3 years, the Morgan Farmers Markets have positively impacted the community, attracting several hundreds of attendees and over 70 vendors. The markets also support the development of high-school-aged youth, involving them with planning, social media marketing, logistics, and live musical performances.
In July 2024, Scotsman Center was awarded a Morgan County Small Business Grant to fund the development, improvement, and awareness of the Morgan Farmers Markets. Funds will be used for improved signage and advertising, additional staffing, and equipment rentals that support fun and FREE activities for attendees to enjoy.
