Farmers & Merchants Bank is proud to support local efforts that make our community stronger and more connected. One of the latest projects is our partnership with the Berlin Farmers & Artists Market to help complete the bathroom facility at Nathan Strong Park. 

We matched $25,000 in funds raised by the Market to ensure the project could continue moving forward. The new bathrooms will improve access and comfort at one of Berlin’s most used public spaces, especially during events like the Berlin Farmers & Artists Markets, Music in the Park, and the Annual Tree Lighting.  

The Facilities are heated and will stay open through mid-November, making the park more usable deep into the fall. They will reopen again with the weather warms up, just in time for another busy season of community events.  

The Berlin Farmers and Artists Market shared their deep gratitude, “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donation and belief in the work we do. Your support is not just a gift—it’s a powerful message that our shared commitment to community, compassion, and connection truly make a difference!” 

FMB is proud to support projects that make a real difference and help Berlin remain a place where community thrives.
