Galvestons Own Farmers Market

Founded in 2012, Galvestons Own Farmers Market is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to connecting our community to local foods through year-round weekly farmers markets, food access programming, school gardens, and health & food education opportunities.

Galveston's Own Farmers Market brings locally-grown produce, prepared foods and edible farm products to residents of Galveston and the surrounding areas to provide a direct connection to vendors creating and growing fresh whole foods. We strive to foster a greater sense of community through supporting local Texas farmers and producers, and connect individuals with their local food economy.

GOFM is a small-but-mighty organization run by a 6-person employee team, an all-volunteer Board of Directors and countless efforts and hours from volunteers in the community.

Our organization is funded by generous grants from local and national philanthropies, Friends of the Farmers Market memberships, vendor fees, tips from GOFM To-Go sales, fundraising events, community donations, merchandise sales and beyond.
