This petition calls on the City of Nelson to keep the Wednesday Nelson Farmers Market on Baker Street. We urge you to preserve this vital community hub and support the local economy by maintaining its current location, ensuring vendors and local businesses can continue to thrive.

As a local vendor who relies on the Nelson Farmers Market as a primary source of income, I am deeply concerned about the relocation of the market from Baker Street, to the less accessible Cottonwood Falls. The bustling energy of Baker Street is unmatched, providing vendors like myself with ample foot traffic that is crucial to our success.

The market on Baker Street is more than just a place of business. It is a community gathering spot where families, friends, and tourists come together to support the local Farmers, Artisans, Baker Street shops and restaurants. The central location ensures high visibility, making it convenient for locals and visitors.

Moving the market to Cottonwood Falls poses a significant risk to the livelihoods of many vendors. While the area is picturesque, it lacks the accessibility and spontaneous visitors that Baker Street offers. The decision to relocate could lead to a significant decrease in the markets attendance, therefore, hindering the potential income of vendors who rely on the steady foot traffic that Baker Street provides.

Sign this petition to keep Nelson's Farmers Market on Baker Street, where it belongs, for the benefit of our community's vendors, patrons, and economic well-being.
