Ep 346: Are Farmers Present? | Defining Farmers Markets: Keeping Our Word

Market ManagersVendorsInTents Conference
Written By Leandra Hays

Wrapping up our series on defining farmers markets, we're chatting in this episode about what a farmers market is, and what it isn't. Whether inadvertently or intentionally, a lot of places and platforms and events are identified as farmers markets that don't meet the definition. Tents alone do not a farmers market make and the same goes for fresh produce. Are there farmers present? Does it happen regularly? We're intent on keeping our word. Speaking up for farmers markets means reminding people what a farmers market really is, and why that matters. 

Listen in as we discuss

  • What makes a farmers market

  • Helping consumers know the difference

  • Other platforms, other names

  • Calling out greenwashing

  • Keeping our word 

Today’s episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by TentCraft
