OUR PURPOSE:

The purpose of the Farmers’ Market at the Y, is to provide our community with the freshest, locally grown and produced goods from farmers, producers and craft vendors. We support local agriculture and producers by providing a direct market for their products to our community.

OUR MISSION:

At the Bedford Area Family YMCA our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common good. One way we achieve this is through education about the benefits of eating fresh foods grown locally, making available healthy food to people who otherwise have limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and by strengthening community through supporting our local farmers and producers.
