MISSION: The Mission of the market is to provide opportunities for farmers to sell their produce directly to consumers while providing consumers opportunities to buy locally grown produce directly from farmers. By doing this, the market increases the local food supply and production, and hopes to create, expand and enhance the economic strength and viability of farmers in Michigan, the Wixom local businesses, while also contributing to the health and wealth of the community.
