Building Equity at the Farmers Market:

How You Can Help Small Food Businesses Thrive

Like you, we believe farmers markets should be equitable and inclusive for all, and that small business owners should be set up for success as they share their passion, talents, and delicious food. When you support Foodwise, you help open up a world of opportunities for BIPOC food entrepreneurs as their businesses are taking root, and ensure that farmers markets reflect our diverse Bay Area community.

In this new video, Ferry Plaza Farmers Market entrepreneurs who got their start through our Building Equity program share how their participation has helped them overcome challenges, grow their businesses, and thrive.
