Do you love the idea of having a farmers’ market in your community but you’re not sure where to start? Maybe you’re already involved in your local farmers’ market but want to see it grow? In this workshop we’ll go over the basics to starting and running a successful, community-oriented farmers’ market. With Participants guiding what is most supportive for their work, we’ll review topics such as legal structures, permits, insurance, marketing, volunteer recruitment, and vendor communication. Building on the work you’ve already done, we’ll also discuss how your market can become a valued community hub that supports artists and food makers of all types.
