    Happy holidays from all of us at GOFM!

    Thank you for investing in the local economy this holiday season by continuing to shop with the dedicated, hard-working small businesses that make up the GOFM marketplace. By shopping at the open-air and GOFM To-Go, YOU are fulfilling the hopes of the people who make the cakes, grind the coffee, brew the booch, harvest the kale, steward the bees, raise the chickens, bottle the elixirs, tend the cows, form the dough, cut the broccoli and simmer the pots.

    This market is unique and special because of the remarkable people who make up our community. Y’all are a smorgasbord of caring, food-loving, inclusive, and steadfast folks, and y’all are the butter to our bread and the honey to our tea.
