Resource Library
Welcome to the Farmers Market Coalition Resource Library, an ever-growing database of resources for farmers market operators, organizations that support farmers markets, and researchers. These resources were developed by a wide spectrum of organizations, agencies, and academic institutions, and we are grateful for the spirit of sharing which allows us to bring a variety of tools to your table in one searchable portal. We hope you find them useful and consider submitting resources of your own for the benefit of the farmers market community.
In addition to this resource library, FMC curates The Farm Direct Nutrition Incentives Guide Site, a comprehensive library of resources for the people who run SNAP/EBT and nutrition incentives at farmers markets, farm stands, CSAs and mobile markets. If you are looking for information related to SNAP and nutrition incentives, you’ll find some resources here, and many more at the Farm Direct Nutrition Incentive Library. Learn more and explore the site at farmdirectincentives.guide

Evaluation 101 from FMC
The national Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) has noted the growth in the culture of data collection projects at markets over the last few decades. In response, this national entity has begun to provide resources and training to market communities in partnership with funders and network leaders. The information included in this document is a good start in designing an evaluation system for your market, but check out FMC’s evaluation resources online, to see what other templates that markets have uploaded into the FMC Resource Library, and what we have available through our data collection software site Farmers Market Metrics.
