Support Local, Sustain Local: Why Your Dollars Matter at Webster City Market Nights
Support Local, Sustain Local: Why Your Dollars Matter at Webster City Market Nights
At the heart of Webster City Market Nights is a simple mission: connect community with local producers, celebrate creativity, and give families access to fresh, locally made goods.
But behind each market stand — behind the fresh cauliflower and microgreens, behind the honey jars, crocheted turtles, homemade pies, sourdough bread, and cupcakes — are real people. Moms, dads, grandparents, students, and small business dreamers who spend long hours preparing their products, hoping to find support and encouragement from the community they serve.
The Challenge Local Producers Face
While Market Nights are vibrant and full of heart, many producers face a tough question each week:
"Will it be worth the time, cost, and effort to come?"
When attendance or sales are low, it can be discouraging — and over time, some local favorites might stop showing up altogether. That’s why your support is critical. Choosing to buy locally isn't just a feel-good action — it’s a vote. A vote for community. A vote for sustainability. A vote to keep this market thriving.
🎁 Introducing: Market Night in a Box
To help bridge the gap and support our local vendors consistently, we’re excited to offer Market Night in a Box — a weekly pre-sold $25 box filled with a rotating variety of products from 4 to 7 different local producers and bakers.
What’s inside? It changes each week — but think things like:
- Fresh produce (like cauliflower, microgreens, or herbs)
- Freshly squeezed lemonade or jams
- Local honey or baked goods
- Sweet treats like pies, sourdough bread, cupcakes, and more
Not only is it a surprise box of local goodness, but it’s also a way to show producers:
"We want you here, and we value your work."
Next date for ordering a box: July 4th at 9AM— Celebrate Freedom by Supporting Local
As we celebrate our nation's freedom, let's also celebrate the freedom we have to invest in our friends, neighbors, and classmates.
Make this Independence Day about more than fireworks — make it about local pride.
