We want to keep culver city farmer's market as it is right now. We want to keep all crafters and non agricultural vendors at the farmer's market
Why is this important?
Culver city farmer's market has been open for over 15 years. This staple in farmer's market has always hosted a diversity of vendors. From fruits and veggies, flowers to hot food, deserts, snacks and crafters. We as crafters offer an array of healthy alternative products. From bath and beauty products to clothes , jewelry and baskets. This made the market unique and helped the community to be health conscious from what they eat to what they put on their bodies.
We are having a new market management company that wants to exclusively offer farm products. That mean not only it will rob the Culver City community of their access to much needed products, but will cost us crafters and vendors a percentage of our income. Indeed some us crafters and non agricultural vendors have been in the market for over a decade and will be left scrambling to find a supplemental income to replace our loss of revenues. We were given only 3 weeks notice to vacate. We don't think it's fair to the community or the vendors. We want the city council to review their vote and ask the new management company to allow us to stay in the market or at least until December. This will give us ample time to find a replacement market.
Best regards.
