Our Mission

Our mission is to develop a Non-Profit social enterprise in rural NL where crops are locally grown, harvested, and sold via
​a vibrant Farmers’ Market. We exist to create new jobs so that people and tourists from the greater Clarenville area can grow, harvest, and sell, local fruits, vegetables, crafts, and seafood. The Market also seeks to help new Canadians and
​clients from the Ability Corporation to find gainful employment and integrate into our local communities.

​Our Guiding Principles

Respect for Everyone.
Brutally Fair.
Entrepreneurial. 
​Transparent.
