Canterbury Community Farmers Market

The Canterbury Community Farmers Market Association (CCFMA) was organized by a group of local agricultural producers and interested citizens with the following objectives: * Foster a broader availability and variety of locally grown produce and agricultural products and promote consumer confidence in the quality, freshness and nutritional value of these products. * Encourage sustainable farming in the Canterbury area by providing an alternative marketplace for local growers and producers of agricultural commodities and other farm-related products. * Create opportunities for farmers and consumers to deal with each other directly, advancing the consumer's knowledge of local agriculture and products, and providing farmers with a better understanding of consumer needs. * Enhance the quality of life in the Canterbury area with a community activity that fosters social gathering and interaction. * Preserve the Canterbury area's unique agricultural heritage.
