The Outer Sunset Farmers Market & Mercantile is in Jeopardy!

Sunset resident here! The market should not be impacted by SI!!

Keep this community gathering space open!

I’d prefer they shut the school down instead.

Farmers markets are important social and economic institutions and are a critical component in rebuilding local food economies. Support the Sunset Mercantile Farmers Market!

Love the market!

This farmer’s market is why the community of the Outer Sunset has continued to grow! SI should figure out another way and support local businesses

Please save the market!

Please keep the Sunday Market! Love the sense of community, and the opportunity it gives for the vendors to sell their product(s).

This market is vital!!!! To the community!!!!

My family and I love this farmers market. We go every Sunday. Would be a shame to lose it.

Please leave this market open!!!!!! Signed a local outer sunset citizen

This farmers market is the best thing that has happened to our neighborhood. It’s a central family and community hub and a vital income stream to the vendors (many of which are local to the neighborhood or SF). One of the employees of the market lost his decades old Outer Sunset business in the Pandemic, and this has replaced his income. We’ve built relationships with the vendors- Avast bread (he lives just blocks away and supports a family with this income), Semilla (Norma lives and produces her food in SF), Nixta (lives & produces his food in SF), Trish’s Biscotti (makes her biscotti at home in the Sunset), salsa (again made in SF), Venga Empanadas, Midnight Bagel… not to mention the other vendors coming in- Ponce, Rodriguez strawberries… This market allows us to walk from home to buy almost EVERY grocery we need for the full week. If I’m being hones, the Farmers Market is the best part of many weeks for my husband and me. SI is a religious, non tax paying, no benefit to the immediate neighborhood institution, asking to have not just 37th from Q to R, Rivera from 37 to 38, 38 from Q to R, a parking garage, and the Farmers Market blocks 6 days a week, but also now they want the Farmers Market blocks too. That is not fair to us, tax paying citizens. Their students park on block/in front of our home 5 days a week- them giving me a farmers market 1 day a week is a fair trade.

the mercantile has been amazing for our community. now i do not have to travel outside my neighborhood to go to the farmers market and on top of that I have learned of many wonderful businesses in my community i had never been to before.

We love the Outer Sunset Farmers Market & Mercantile!

My wife and I are seniors. Having this market within walking distance allows to obtain fresh produce directly from local farmers.

The mercantile centers the community around supporting small business! #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness

I hope we can keep the market open. I am a local artist/musician that is lucky to play the market.

The farmers market is a vital part of our community, and getting rid of it would be a massive loss!

The market is a vital part of the community!

please do not close this market...St. Ignacious has plenty of room - how many blocks do they need??? Greedy church once again
