Market Manager Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the Farmers Market Manager Frequently Asked Questions, a starting place for current and prospective farmers market managers and organizers looking to develop, expand, and improve their organizations. This resource is made possible thanks to the submissions many market leaders have made to the Farmers Market Resource Library, discussions among peers on the FMC Listserv, and the expertise of the FMC Education Committee. This FAQ was developed in 2010 in partnership with the Wallace Center at Winrock International, with support from USDA Risk Management Agency.
This FAQ is broken into seven categories, in which you will find links to specific entries in the FMC Resource Library.
Market Fundamentals
Market Policies
Market Staff
Insurance, Liability, and Regulation
Market Growth, Outreach, and Evaluation
Extending the Market Season
Increasing Market Access
