Welcome to The Farmington Mercury
At The Farmington Mercury, we’re more than just a news website—we’re a movement. Our mission is to provide Farmington with accurate, insightful, and meaningful local news, covering politics, zoning, and Board of Education updates that truly matter to our community. We believe in transparency, integrity, and the power of informed citizens.
Our Journey
We’re in the Alpha phase, just starting, and we’re inviting you to join us on this exciting journey. We are building this business in public, sharing our successes and our stumbles along the way. Mistakes will happen, but we promise to learn from them and grow stronger together.
Why We’re Different
We stand firm on our principles in a world dominated by monoliths like Google, SEO-driven content, and the race to the bottom perpetuated by competitors like Patch and Lee Enterprises. We reject clickbait and sensationalism, focusing instead on delivering well-researched and relevant news.
Local businesses often find themselves lost in the digital landscape, unsure how to effectively reach their audience without exploitation. At The Farmington Mercury, we aim to bridge that gap, helping local businesses connect with our community meaningfully.
Our Goals
Our immediate goal is to reach 1,000 email subscribers—1,000 engaged and informed members of the Farmington community who trust us to keep them updated on the issues that impact their lives. Building a solid foundation of loyal readers can create a sustainable and impactful news platform.
