Starting and running a farmers' market
Mar 8th, 2009 | By Mayda | Category: Farmer's MarketsMany small and new farmers market their products at farmers’ markets. A sustainable local food system will require more small farmers and more ways for those farms to remain viable by marketing their goods direct to consumers. We need more farmers’ markets in our communities.
OSU South Centers have a good resource on starting and running a farmers’ market in Ohio. Their training materials are online. If you have any interest in farmers’ markets take a look.
