Glossary of Farmers Market Terms

This glossary was developed by John Porter, Urban Agriculture Program Coordinator for Nebraska Extension for use by Oregon Farmers Markets Association and other farmers market organizations. This is a reference for farmers market managers, vendors, volunteers, board members and customers, but should not be considered a legal or academic document.

Check out the recording of John’s webinar, Organics, Hybrids and GMOs — Oh My!, for a fun and more in depth discussion of these terms and how to use them.
