Western Wake Farmers Market, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to improve the resiliency of the local food system by increasing the participation of the community in local food consumption, and operating a robust marketplace that allows local food producers to earn a better living.

WWFM was established in 2009 by a group of Cary moms with the goal of feeding their families high-quality, delicious, local food. They set out to build a conveniently located, producer-only farmers market for their community. The market is unique in that it was founded and is run by an all-volunteer board made up of local consumers and community members.

In September 2013, Western Wake Farmers Market and The Town of Morrisville came together to address an opportunity. WWFM knew we would be displaced – due to development - from our initial location in Carpenter Village. ToM saw an opportunity to create an amenity that would serve the community for generations to come. Hence, leveraging a grant from The John Rex Endowment, and bringing in the Morrisville Community Garden as an additional collaborator, the Town of Morrisville Healthy Food Hub was born.

Following the “Covid years” of 2020-2022, the WWFM leadership team was restructured in 2023 to better explore opportunities for community engagement, civic partnerships, and vendor participation, both independently and in collaboration with the Town of Morrisville.
