Real talk: this weekend may feel a little different.

Many of our vendors, volunteers, and customers are still processing what happened last Saturday. But this community keeps showing up for one another.

Nearly every vendor who was at market during the incident will be back this weekend. Not because everything is magically okay, but because they believe in this market, in local food, and in the community we've built together.

If you've been asking how you can help, come shop. Grab your groceries. Pick up a bouquet. Buy a loaf of bread. Say hello to a farmer.

And tell your friends about the market.

This week's newsletter is linked in our stories with a full list of what's in season and who will be at market.

We're grateful for this community. ❤️

Grateful and Thankful- Mr. Rogers always said that when something scary was happening that his mother would say to “look for the helpers.” I just have to say that the helpers/angels/first responders were at our farmers market on Saturday and in action. And all of this week with people checking in and praying for everyone at the market on Saturday. The overwhelming gratitude I have as one who was helped has brought tears to my eyes plenty through the week. We all are helpers and I hope to be even more of one after Saturday. So get ready for extra smiles, maybe a few tears, and lots of joy. I often refer to the market as a little bit of Mr. Roger’s neighborhood in 2026. Customers and vendors become friends. Customers see people they know from work and school and stop to talk as they shop. We ask each other how our weeks have been. It’s wonderful…. And beautiful. Thank you everyone for all the love, support, and continued prayers.

Following recent events affecting our Wilmington Farmers Market community, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Tacos on the Farm, originally scheduled for June 20.

While this was not an easy decision, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from our community. Your kindness has meant so much to our vendors and staff.

We are planning to reschedule for this fall and will share details as soon as they are available.

Anyone who has already purchased a ticket will receive a full refund and an email with additional information in the coming days.

For those asking how they can support the market, the best thing you can do is come out and shop with our vendors. We will be open this weekend and look forward to welcoming our community back to the market.

Donations to support the Wilmington Farmers Market's mission can also be made through the link in our bio.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We are grateful to be part of such a caring community and look forward to gathering together again soon. ❤️

Our market family is hurting today.

What began as a beautiful market morning ended in a frightening and unexpected incident that left several members of our community injured. This event was unintentional, and our hearts are with everyone who was affected.

While yesterday was a tragic day, it was also a powerful reminder of just how strong and caring this market community is. In the midst of a terrifying situation, vendors, customers, volunteers, and first responders came together without hesitation to help one another. The compassion, courage, and support shown throughout the morning was truly remarkable.

We know many of you want to help, and we are incredibly grateful for that. As we continue gathering information and understanding the needs of those impacted, we will share updates and ways to support.

Thank you for keeping those affected and their families in your thoughts, and thank you for being part of such a special community.

💚💚💚
