20 years ago, a small group of dedicated local farmers planted the seed that has grown into our beloved Janesville Farmers Market. From its humble beginnings on Main Street to today’s dynamic experience at Town Square, the JFM continues to bring people together to celebrate all things local.
♥️ Recently, we refreshed our mission statement to better reflect who we are as an organization: The JFM strives to be a vibrant hub where local producers thrive, community members connect and learn, and everyone is welcome.
And as a private nonprofit, community support isn’t just helpful, it’s a necessity. Please join us as we honor the past 20 years and work to secure a bright, shining future.
