Growing Roots Partners

Growing Roots Partners (GRP) is a Pennsylvania-based farmers market coordinator and event management company dedicated to fostering vibrant communities by supporting small-scale, local food systems and artisans. With a focus on sustainability and economic impact, Growing Roots provides platforms for local farmers, food producers, and artisans to connect directly with consumers, creating a dynamic marketplace for locally sourced and crafted goods. Since 2013, Growing Roots has operated three weekly, year-round farmers markets in Chester County (Eagleview, Downingtown, and Malvern). Growing Roots farmers markets feature a curated, diverse range of local producers—including seasonal produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, pantry staples, and more—ensuring a balanced, high-quality experience for shoppers while fostering a supportive environment for small businesses. They also provide the community with access to nutritious, locally sourced food and highlight the value and exceptional quality of locally produced goods. In addition to weekly farmers markets, GRP also produces large-scale community events such as Good Food Fest, Craft & Mercantile, and other seasonal festivals in partnership with local communities and organizations. These events highlight the exceptional talents and products of the region while promoting the values of sustainability and community connection. Founded on a deep commitment to local food systems and rooted in the belief that investing in local economies strengthens communities, Growing Roots collaborates with farmers, artisans, and local organizations to drive meaningful change. GRP’s vision is driven by a commitment to supporting its producers and showcasing the economic power of local marketplaces. From its leadership’s passion for local food and community-building to its meticulous curation of farmers markets and events, Growing Roots brings heart, vision, sustainability, and meaningful connections to every endeavor.
