Our Producer+(tm) concept recognizes the reality of being an inner city market by allowing vendors to bring produce from neighboring farms, Amish auctions and even produce terminals provided it does not compete with local in-season products sold by producers.  Every vendor must grow, raise  or make 50% or more of the products they sell.  A growing amount our produce comes from on-site urban farm plots.
The market is owned and operated by the East Cleveland Farmers Market Preservation Society, ECFM for short. 
ECFM is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Therefore, monetary gifts, as well as gifts of products and services, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by Internal Revenue Service laws.

The market is the home of East Cleveland Grows, a community garden where you can raise your own fruits and vegetables.  Beginning in 2009 Urban farmers will raise produce on the property for sale at the market.

The mission of the East Cleveland Farmers Market Preservation Society includes preservation of our historic building, revitalizing the Coit Road Farmers Market, keeping a stable presence in an urban community and encouraging further re-development in our East Cleveland neighborhood.  In doing so we are providing a source of fresh produce to an inner city community, supporting local farmers and providing business opportunities for community residents. 

Strengths and advantages of the Coit Road Farmers Market include

Producer+ is a trade marked concept of the ECFM that recognizes that people need groceries all year round, that not every farmer can or wants to be a retailer, and not all good food can be local.  Producers who are vendors at the market are encouraged to sell neighbors and relatives products and produce from auctions and wholesellers as long as those products do not compete with or under price other vendors and local products.
