Down to Earth Farm Market Pantry

Participating Markets
Down to Earth Farmers Markets began the Farm Market Pantry in 2020. After having operated markets for almost 30 years it had become clear that there was a gap in what small scale, local farmers and food makers selling at farmers markets could offer. As avid cooks, the Down to Earth team knew that some of those missing items were vital to filling the market tote with everything needed for a week's meals: spices, flours, grains, and nuts for example.
The challenge was that Down to Earth is a mission-driven company, dedicated to supporting small scale agriculture and creating a direct link between farmers and food buyers. So filling the pantry product gap at the farmers market had to be done in a way that fulfilled the mission. By tapping its extensive network of farmers and food makers and its deep knowledge of ethical food production and local food systems, Down to Earth Farmers Markets was able to begin building a catalog. Products are sourced directly from the farm whenever possible and are otherwise sourced from trusted importers who are transparent in their operations and share the mission of supporting small scale, organic and fair trade agriculture.
