Mission
The mission of the Denton Community Market is to encourage access to local food, locally produced art and crafts, and other local goods and services in a sustainable way.
The market complements Denton’s vibrant downtown area as a desired destination in which local growers, artists, and other entrepreneurs have an economic outlet for their work and market visitors have access to locally-produced goods and services. The market strives to bring together the diversity of the Denton community in a creative and collaborative way.
