Our story & mission
Discover the heart behind Faith & Family Farmers Market, where community, faith, and fresh produce come together to create a truly unique experience.
Our inspiration: A vision for faith and fellowship
We've always cherished the warmth of farmers markets—the friendly faces, the strong sense of community, the joy of discovery, and the support they offer local businesses. Yet, amidst all the excitement, we felt a desire for something more: a space where faith and fellowship could truly flourish within the market experience. This longing inspired us to create Jacksonville’s first weekly Christian Farmers Market—a welcoming place where everyone can shop, play, and pray.
Our core values: Feeding God's people
At Faith & Family Farmers Market, our purpose is to nourish God’s people—physically, spiritually, and relationally. We achieve this by cultivating a Christ-centered space where families can gather, worship, grow, and enjoy a wholesome, healthy community life. Inspired by Jesus’ words, “If you love Me, feed My people,” we offer a marketplace where our community can play, praise, and pray, all while experiencing the goodness of God through fellowship and fresh local foods.
What makes us unique: A kingdom marketplace
Faith & Family Farmers Market stands as a truly one-of-a-kind Kingdom marketplace, where Christ is at the center of every activity, every relationship, and every harvest. We are more than just a market; we are a ministry. Our unique blend of worship, family fun, prayer, and wholesome local farming creates a joyful weekly gathering unlike anything else in Jacksonville.
Our vision is for every visitor to feel welcomed, loved, safe, and spiritually refreshed—to experience the warmth of family, the presence of God, and the joy of community. We want you to leave feeling nourished in every way: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
"My dream is for the market to nourish people physically through fresh, local foods and spiritually through prayer, worship, and fellowship, all while supporting local farmers and small businesses."
