                       to:
                              1.     Promote local farmers and growers.
                              2.     Create a direct, 'producer to consumer' marketplace.
                              3.     Make available fresh, wholesome, quality food to those
                                     seeking such products.
                              4.     Provide a festive marketplace that benefits local merchants
                                     and townspeople by adding color and diversity to
                                     Munising's downtown.
                          The quality of the products and the expertise of the sellers is vital to the market
                                 experience. Integrity and authenticity are of utmost importance.
