OUR MISSION AND PRINCIPLES
We work to contribute to the vitality, livability, and community spirit of Denton by creating a public gathering space that supports local culture and provides a market to bring together visitors with local artists, craftspeople, farmers, and food producers.
Founded in 2009, the Denton Community Market is a 501c3 nonprofit producer-only farmer’s and art market in downtown Denton, Texas. Bring the family and experience the best live music, kids activities, local farms, local artists, food trucks, food vendors, and more!
Our guiding principles remind us our values to:
-
Provide a setting in which community members can purchase local products from local producers.
-
Provide educational opportunities to learn about the products made and grown in our community.
-
Promote the local economy by connecting food producers and consumers.
-
Reduce barriers to entry for new entrepreneurs and small businesses.
-
Promote sustainable farmer practices and environmental stewardship while educating the public about these practices.
-
Strengthen ties between community members by creating a sense of place.
