“Our goal with Farm to Fork isn’t just one good night,” said Christina Reidy, Vice President of the Wilmington Farmers Market Association’s Board of Directors. “We want to build something our community gets excited about every year, the way people look forward to Fun on the Fourth or the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting. That kind of tradition needs everyone.”
Proceeds will help cover the rising cost of running the Wilmington Farmers Market each summer and support the Association’s efforts to expand food assistance and community programming in town.

The Association’s mission is:
- To provide a place where community members can purchase fresh produce directly from local New England farmers.
- To provide a diverse and interesting selection of locally grown fruits and vegetables, and locally produced goods.
- To educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
- To partner with local organizations such as the library, senior venter, area health centers, and fitness organizations to promote education about healthy eating.
