BARN RAISING – a collective action of a community, in which a barn for one of the members is built or rebuilt collectively by members of the community
‘Raise the Barn’ is a market-led initiative that will see our seasonal ‘dome’ structure replaced with a state-of-the-art building that will offer many enhancements. These improvements will support our farmers, food producers and artisans while improving access to local food and food security in our community.
A short video that talks about how the Market started and about this project. There’s lots more to talk about, but this is a great overview.
Hear From Our Vendors
This project is about far more than 4 walls and a roof. It is about people. It’s about our vendors and our community. We have a series of videos highlighting just some of our more than 140 vendors. You’ll hear from our farmers, from prepared food producers, vendors who have used the market to launch their business to the next level and been able to leave their full-time jobs to follow their dreams. They will all highlight how the New Glasgow Farmers Market has impacted them and what this new space will mean to them. Check back often to hear more stories.
The over project is $7 million from beginning to end. Our first goal is $650,000 in non-government funds, that’s where we need your help.
We have a number of ways for you to get involved at a level that is right for you!
