The Tower Grove Farmers’ Market will be celebrating its eleventh season in 2016!

Some highlights of the 2015 season include:
• Over 4,200 shoppers on average attended the market each week, over 130,000 visits for the season
• 75% of the market goers spent more than 30 minutes per week at the market
• 25% of shoppers spent more than an hour per week at the market
• We grew to over 11,000 followers on Facebook
• The www.tgmarket.org website has been visited over 50,000 times and received over 1.3 million hits
• Our weekly email newsletter grew to reach over 6,000 interested readers
• We anticipate crowds to grow and average over 4,400 shoppers per week in 2016.
We anticipate having a sellout season for vendor slots in 2016, as we did this year, and this means a maximum bounty of seasonal food for our shoppers and increased shopper turnout. The market will continue to be a place to see friends, connect with neighbors and enjoy the beauty of Tower Grove Park. It will also provide a profitable outlet for area farmers, ranchers and artists to sell their products, helping to better the quality of life for these hard working individuals.
The Tower Grove Farmers’ Market is supported by memberships, sponsorships and vendor fees. The Market operates on a small budget that must support a large array of operating expenses that include space rental, insurance, permits, licenses, signage, utilities, site improvements, marketing, promotions, staffing, and more. We meet these needs through vendor fees, fundraising, sponsorships, our Friends of TGFM program, donations and merchandise sales. The market costs over $65,000 annually to run and we rely especially on generous sponsorships to implement our marketing, operations, site development, education and community relations programs to achieve our mission’s goals.
Your sponsorship of the market will not only help you reach thousands of St. Louisans who share your commitment to supporting St. Louis businesses, it will also support regional agriculture, local small business and the overall health of St. Louis residents. You will also ensure that we keep this weekly source of fresh, healthy food thriving in St. Louis.
The Tower Grove Farmers’ Market is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and all contributions to the market are tax-deductible.
