The Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) was created in response to requests from a rapidly expanding industry for information, resources and representation at state and federal levels. We applaud the decentralized growth of farmers markets. However, we recognize that many operate solely with volunteer and part-time staff, lacking the fiscal infrastructure to sustain themselves over the long haul. Moreover, they navigate through a patchwork of local, state, and federal policies that serve to undermine their growth. And yet, farmers markets continue to proliferate because farmers, consumers, and communities want more choices in their food system.
