What if your weekly grocery dollars could strengthen local farms and expand food access in your community at the same time?
The Cultivator Club is a seasonal membership for people who are ready to commit to showing up for local farmers all season long. For $300 a season (pay in full or $25 monthly for 12 months), members receive a $25 market credit each month to spend directly with our farmers and food entrepreneurs. If you don’t use your credit, it doesn’t go to waste. It becomes mutual aid through our Double Bucks program, helping us match SNAP dollars so more families can access fresh, locally grown food. Your membership strengthens farmer income, builds community food access, and keeps dollars circulating where they matter most. Open enrollment closes April 7, so don’t miss your chance to grow with us this season.
Join the Cultivator Club today.
What if every grocery run was a radical act of love?
What if feeding your family meant fueling your community, too?
At the Black Farmers Market, every dollar you spend keeps the Black dollar circulating where it belongs, right here, with us.
Your choice to shop here isn’t small.
It’s wealth in action.
It’s legacy in motion.
