mission statement
The mission of the South Anchorage Farmers Market (SAFM) is to provide Anchorage with fresh, locally grown products and to provide farmers with an outlet to sell their farm products. By bringing people together for a farmers market, we have a tremendous opportunity to educate the consumer and enlist their support in the issues facing farmers today. The Market has been established for the benefit of the community, the vendor, and the consumer alike.

Each week I'm so excited to read the Farmer's Market newsletter. Alison's newsletters are so inspiring, especially when I can't figure out what to do with all these summer Alaskan vegetables. When my refrigerator is bursting with greens and cabbage, I know just where to look for easy and delicious recipes. I've become more creative and adventurous since reading the South Anchorage Farmers' Market Cookbook. Some of my favorites are the salad recipes, red lentils with zucchini and the butterball potato salad with green beans.
