About FULTON STREET FARMERS MARKET INC

Founded in 1922, Fulton Street Farmers Market is Grand Rapids’ long-running, donor-facing nonprofit marketplace that connects Michigan farmers, food producers, artisans, and residents. The Market operates year-round with a Main Season (May–October) and a Second Season (November–April), hosting well over 100 rotating vendor booths and a mix of indoor and outdoor programming.

The Market’s programming centers on vendor support, community food access, and sustainability: it runs a Food Recovery Program that redirects unsold produce and prepared food into nearby neighborhoods, operates nutrition-education partnerships ( Farmers Market Food Navigator ), and accepts public nutrition benefits to increase affordable access to fresh food. In recent years the organization has shown financial growth and program expansion, reporting roughly $350k in revenue in its most recent fiscal year and increasing net assets while keeping the majority of revenue tied to program services.
