Haymaker Farmers' Market

The Mission of Haymaker Farmers’ Market- * to provide high quality, fresh, more flavorful and nutritious agricultural products and baked goods at competitive prices to Kent and surrounding communities; * to promote local agricultural production in order to retain arable land for the purpose of growing food; * to foster a positive sense of community, promote civic interaction and discourse in an open-air public setting, and to provide an alternative public venue for local charitable organizations; * to help promote retail development within the city’s central business district through spin-off retail trade and to create a mutually beneficial relationship between the farmers’ market and the business community at large; * to improve public awareness of the many agricultural products and baked goods available from local producers; * and to foster a link between the local arts and music communities and the farmers’ market by providing a free alternative performance venue.
