WHO WE ARE? The University Farmer’s Market (UFM) is a weekly market of local vendors run by volunteers at the UNBC Student Centre (NUSC). The UFM was born out of a vision to connect learning to real community needs, to make “citizenship” tangible and relevant in our daily lives, and to move beyond theory to application in promoting “the common good” through engaged participation in our community.

WHAT WE BELIEVE? We believe that we need to find new ways to work together for the common good. Healthy communities are promoted through activities that strengthen our connections to the places where we live and the people we live with. The capacity of human communities to endure hard times has always reflected those fundamental connections, and we believe that much of modern society is undoing these connections. (more)
WHY A FARMERS’ MARKET? Food is important to all of us! Through human history, food has been a “glue” binding people in community and to the places where they lived. (more)
MORE THAN A FARMERS’ MARKET! The UFM is not just about food! It is a place of real-world learning, personal development and social connection. (more)
