What Birdhouse Farmers Market does
Mission
Growing community connections and fighting food insecurity through education, neighborhood outreach, and a commitment to local agriculture, creating a nourished and united richmond.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
Local food pantries can purchase directly from our farmers and food producers for their pantry clients. Currently, Birdhouse is partnered with the Food Pantry at Second Baptist Church and The Ram Pantry at VCU.
$89,125 spent60% of program spendingOur seasonal farmers market - a friendly, open-air, all-weather, mid-week, food-focused, SNAP-accepting and matching farmers market - is central to our organization, but far from our only activity. In addition to the seasonal, in-person farmers market, we operate a year-round, online farmers market with curbside pickup to serve those with mobility issues or customers who may not have time to shop the market themselves.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2025 to 2026, from $57k to $81k (+43%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2025 50% · 2026 43%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
62% of BIRDHOUSE FARMERS MARKET’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
