Be our Friend!
The Waco Downtown Farmers Market is growing — and so are the costs of keeping it strong. Each week, our Market team works to create a space where local farmers, makers, and neighbors come together. As we expand community programming + improve infrastructure, your support ensures that the Market continues to thrive as the cornerstone of Waco’s local food community.
Since 2011, we’ve operated year-round as a small but mighty 501c3 nonprofit with an annual budget of about $250,000. Yet our impact far exceeds our size: in 2024, Market vendors generated over $2 million in sales, up from $800,000 in 2019 — proof that investing in local food creates real economic growth.
Your tax-deductible donation supports the people and programs behind the scenes — from tents, tables, and staffing to food access initiatives and community events that make the Market more inclusive and accessible for everyone.
Donations of $25 or more receive an exclusive Friend of the Market sticker designed by Designs with Jamie — a small thank-you for helping us nurture a market that truly grows with Waco.
