Ep 345: Shop Outside the Box | Defining Farmers Markets: Delivering Net Growth

Market ManagersVendorsInTents Conference
Written By Leandra Hays

In this episode of our series on defining farmers markets we consider online ordering and delivery services by looking back to a June, 2021 conversation with Christine Farren, Executive Director of San Francisco's Foodwise. Back then, the organization formerly known as Cuesa was redesigning the curated boxes developed on the fly during peak Covid into a delivery service managed with a logistics partner. Tune in as we discuss how online ordering and home delivery fits into the definition of farmers markets as a place where farmers and eaters form relationships. 

Listen to our conversation about:

  • Flexibility as a superpower

  • Sharing other organizations' strengths

  • Doing the math on delivery

  • Keeping new systems equitable

  • The importance of face time

 

Today’s episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by Project for Public Spaces
