CHFM, Inc., which operates the Copake Hillsdale Farmers Market, is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 run by a small Board composed of dedicated volunteers. They give many hours of their time to make sure that our market is the best it can be. The market relies on vendor fees, business sponsors, grants, and donations.
We ask you to consider partnering with us as a sponsor for our 2024 season. Please review this letter which details how we plan on spending donated funds, and the benefits to you as a donor. Thank you!
