Webinar: Pickup and Order Options at Farmers Market: Create Resilience, Not Legal Vulnerability

WEBINAR: As Farmers Markets add curbside pickup, take advance orders, and offer bundled market purchases, customers are getting fresh, local foods in the midst of a pandemic. But, these innovations can also bring legal risk as well. With some advance planning, market managers can address these risks and create a program with strength beyond COVID-19. We’ll cover issues including increased liability risk, shifting insurance needs, potential licensing obligations, and concerns under site agreements. Your webinar presenters have expertise in farmers markets, legal obligations, and insurance. Join us to learn where legal risk lies and what to do to resolve it.

Presenters: 

• Rachel Armstrong, Farm Commons
• Darlene Wolnik, Farmers Market Coalition
• Emily Spiegel, Center for Agriculture and Food Systems Vermont Law School
• Chris Van Leeuwen, Food Liability Insurance Program
