National Farmers Market Week Toolkit Walkthrough 2020
Each year, FMC helps recognize farmers markets across the country with National Farmers Market Week. This year is different in many ways but we are still excited to celebrate the resilience of our farmers markets nationally, and everything they do to serve their communities. This year’s messaging is specifically designed to address the unique ways farmers markets continue to be an essential part of our food system. We know that farmers markets are essential, safe, and continue to be resilient thanks to the amazing work of farmers market operators.
Join Hannah Fuller, FMC’s Communications Associate, in walking through all of the resources in this year’s NFMW Toolkit.

Strength in Numbers: Leveraging Data and Technology for Nutrition Incentive Programs
Presenter: Alysa Moore: Wholesome Wave Georgia
Do you want to use data to impress funders and show the impact of your region’s nutrition incentive program? Maybe you love the IDEA of data but don’t have an excess amount of time, effort, and money to pour into new data management systems.
Collecting, storing, and analyzing quality data for nutrition incentive programs is a daunting initiative for many organizations, especially organizations that lack the time, money, and people power to do it well. Data doesn’t have to be intimidating!
In this webinar, attendees will learn how one small nonprofit approaches data management using low-cost technology that simplifies collection and analysis of nutrition incentive program data.
Wholesome Wave Georgia (WWG) is a small nonprofit that has been administering nutrition incentive programs in Georgia since 2009. In this webinar, WWG’s Program Manager, Alysa Moore will share how they’ve transitioned nutrition incentive data collection from cumbersome spreadsheets to an online, user-friendly database. Their use of new, low-cost software and tools has simplified program management and reporting for their small staff and the farmers markets, farms, and grocery outlets they work with. Learn how your organization can do the same.
Attendees will learn why there is a need to move beyond spreadsheets, what tools and databases may be useful to program administrators and questions to ask when looking at data management solutions. Alysa will also walk through examples of how WWG uses Salesforce to manage data for several of their programs.
