Farmers' Market Resources for Market Managers

Contact: David Webber, david.webber@state.ma.us, 617-626-1754.

Behind every successful farmers' market is a dedicated market manager. The primary responsibilities for the farmers' market manager are: recruiting farmers, promotion and advertising, and day-to-day operation, including space allocation. Some farmers' markets are managed and run by an individual in the community. Some are sponsored by community organizations or non-profits with a hired market manager. If you or an organization you work with is interested in starting a farmers' market in your community, contact us.
