Down to Earth Markets bring together two kinds of vendors: local farmers and area food makers who source locally. In selecting food makers, the company evaluates vendors on a range of criteria, including transparency in sourcing, connection to community, and environmental stewardship. By incorporating qualified producers into their markets, Down to Earth expands upon the traditional farmers market. More local food entrepreneurs find a venue to sell their products directly to shoppers. In turn, shoppers benefit by discovering a greater offering of local foods at the markets. Best yet, regional agriculture thrives, as more businesses source from area farms.
