Mission:
The Farmers Market at St. Stephen's expands the church's ministry by: 
 - Connecting God's call to environmental stewardship to the foods we eat, stewardship of resources, and reducing our carbon footprint; 
 - Building community by providing the city of Richmond and our local neighborhood with a healthy way to gather and connect with each other regularly; 
 - Building opportunities for advanced ministries, such as horticultural therapy, production of agricultural products, mentoring or educational stewardship; 
 - Providing the community with awareness of other ways of being the church beyond traditional perspectives; 
 - Linking the Market's customers with food producers and teaching advantages of consuming locally grown and produced food; 
 - Attracting and keeping vendors with sustainable farming practices, artisan production and varied goods which reflect and celebrate local agriculture; 
 - Educating patrons on practical ways to maintain connections with the sources of their food; 
 - Helping fill the growing demand for fresh, locally grown and prepared foods in Richmond, and
 - Making good use of resources by giving excess and unsold produce to our food pantry and local organizations that provide for persons in need.
