The Stoughton Community Farmers Market (SCFM) exists to bring locally produced food and other handmade products to the public by providing an outlet for locally grown produce, farm fresh meats, dairy products, baked goods and more via small, local producers and crafters who produce their products in the greater Stoughton Area.

The Market is intended to be a gathering place that benefits and enriches the community as well as downtown Stoughton.

Our goal is to increase knowledge and understanding of the benefits of buying fresh, local farm products and increase knowledge of sustainable local agriculture and access to nutritious food.
