We thank the community, staff, vendors, and partners who supported the Rail Yards Market mission to pivot, adapt, and change this year. During the pandemic, we banded together we brought over $150,000 in local sales through our virtual Farm-to-Car platform, trained over 65 businesses in digital sales and distribution, served 1,452 customers online, packed 1,900+ orders, and strengthened our foodshed and community.

While we succeeded together in many ways to overcome obstacles, ultimately our current model is not financially sustainable for our small non-profit to continue right now. We will continue to seek financial support to re-open.

We’ll be taking the extra time this Fall to focus on training vendors in order to cultivate the most successful and safe virtual Holiday Market for the community. The plan is to re-launch the Farm-to-Car online store for Small Business Saturday shopping starting in November.

Thank you all for your dedication, resilience and support. We’ll be back soon, stronger than ever.
