What Makes Us Special?
The Ada Farmers Market exists to generate fresh, wholesome connections, beginning with the one between the farmer and your table. We start by creating a market space so these networks can grow to become a essential part of the community. Our mission here at the Ada Farmers Market is to cultivate this tradition by maintaining high standards of quality, convenience, accessibility and diversity for shoppers who expect it to be there. It’s also part of our mission to preserve a sense of place that’s distinctly flavored with the essence of the local communities we serve.
We take pride in providing the community with high quality farm and artisan products in a comfortably accessible, kid-friendly environment. Farmers who grow food for both local distribution and their own tables come together with local residents who are eager to buy from growers they personally know and trust.
Visit our vibrant marketplace and experience this unique shopping environment yourself! Each Tuesday in the summer, you’ll find an abundant showcase of fruits, vegetables, meats and artisan food products ready to take from the market to your table. Come and share the bounty of the dynamic local food movement. Everyone is welcome!
