Sponsorship Opportunities
Partner with the Market
We are proud to be a part of the positive impact and growth for Downtown Owosso and Shiawassee County. The Owosso Farmers market hosts thousands of shoppers each Saturday for 26 weeks from May – October in the heart of Historic Downtown Owosso. We are one of the largest mid-Michigan markets with an established line up of vendors and a dedicated customer base that shop at our market and events every year.
The necessary resources for planning, operating, producing, maintaining and administering the Owosso Farmers Market require significant financial contributions. As we intentionally grow to expand new services and food access to the community, we require additional overhead and staff to keep things running. The Owosso Farmers Market is a small, locally owned business with mission is to provide fresh produce accessibility while supporting local growers & makers, and creating an inclusive community space for people of all ages. To succeed, we rely solely on sponsorship funds and stall fees to keep our market staffed and sustainable every season.
Our annual sponsors provide the root foundation of support on which we can depend and grow. Your proceeds go directly to supporting the infrastructure of the Owosso Farmers Market, which provides support to our local farmers, makers and producers. All sponsors receive prominent promotion within our market events, reaching a diverse audience of shoppers. Feel free to choose a sponsorship level below that reflects you or your business’ interest and capacity – or contact us and we’ll work with you to customize a package for your organization.
