2021 HLFM Market Sponsors

Our small farmers need help and so do the families who use food banks. This unique program supports both by purchasing food direct from family farms and delivering that local food to area food banks. The HLFM will make sure that there is a balance of fresh veggies, fruit, milk, and bread to be delivered direct to the food banks for distribution.
