What Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association does
Mission
Our mission is to support california farmers and communities by providing farmers markets for our diverse bay area neighborhoods. We do this by operating certified farmers markets in six bay area counties. These farmers markets provide economic opportunities for over 200 california farmers and over 180 other california small businesses.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Pacific coast farmers' market association (pcfma) operates certified farmers' markets in more than 30 bay area communities. These marketplaces allow california farms to remain viable while providing healthy, farm fresh foods to bay area communities.
Pcfma is a leader in the statewide market match program that provides financial incentives to those enrolled in the calfresh food assistance program, allowing them to increase their purchase of fruits and vegetables when using their calfresh benefits at a pcfma farmers' market. In 2024, pcfma's market match program served over 14,900 calfresh customers and distributed over $1,392,000 in incentives for fresh fruits and vegetables to calfresh customers, who purchased $1,563,000 of farmers' market food with their calfresh benefits. Combined, this is nearly $3 million of fresh food sold to low income customers at pcfma's farmers' markets.
Pcfma accepts the wic farmers' market nutrition program vouchers at all farmers' markets. These vouchers help low income families to afford locally-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. With the support of the california department of food and agriculture, pcfma matched the value of these benefits, helping families purchase over $360,000 of fresh fruits and vegetables from california farmers.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.2M to $1.9M (+63%).
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: 2017 9% · 2018 11% · 2020 15% · 2021 12% · 2022 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
