Celebrating 30 Years of Freshness: The Strathmore Farmers Market Anniversary

For the past three decades, the Strathmore Farmers Market has been more than just a place to shop; it has been a cornerstone of community, sustainability, fresh and locally sourced food. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the market, a milestone that calls for celebration, reflection, and gratitude for all who have contributed to its success.

A Rich History of Growth and Connection

What started as a small gathering of dedicated farmers and artisans three decades ago has blossomed into a vibrant weekly tradition that brings people together every Friday afternoon from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Over the years, the farmers market has grown not only in size but also in impact, fostering relationships between local producers and consumers who value quality, transparency, and sustainability.

The market has seen many changes over the years—new vendors, exciting events, and an ever-expanding selection of fresh produce, handmade goods, and unique local products. Yet, its core mission has remained the same with the “Make it, Bake it, Grow it” philosophy, to support local farmers and makers, promote healthy eating, and create a space where the community can come together.

Honoring Our Vendors

At the heart of the farmers market are the farmers, bakers, crafters, and artisans who have dedicated themselves to their craft. Without their hard work, passion, and dedication, the market would not be what it is today. Many vendors have been with the market since its early days, while new faces continue to bring fresh energy and innovation to the scene.

To honor their contributions, this anniversary celebration will feature special vendor spotlights, where longtime farmers and artisans will share their stories. It’s a chance to hear firsthand about the challenges and triumphs of growing food, crafting goods, and building a sustainable business.

Community, Celebration, and Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, the farmers market remains committed to its founding values. Plans for expansion, sustainability initiatives, and new community programs are already in motion, ensuring that the market continues to thrive for generations to come.
