Farmers Market Best Practices
In 2013-2014 the VTFMA created a series of best practice documents for farmers markets in Vermont.
VTFMA members receive free membership to the Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) ($40 value). Benefits of this include: Member-only Resources, such as POP Club Guide, Toolkit, and Templates; access to member-only Directors’ & Officers’ Insurance Policy for nonprofit farmers market organizations through Campbell Risk Management; and access to regular member-only webinars on timely education topics and opportunities to have your questions answered live by experts. Visit their website to learn more!
The VTFMA is collecting documents and forms that our member markets use in one place to make it easier for markets to share and learn from each other. If your market is interested in updating any of your paperwork, this is a great place to start! It’s the goal of the VTFMA that this information will all live on our website for all VTFMA member markets to access.
The VTFMA, in collaboration with NOFA-VT, create promotional materials for VTFMA member markets. These materials include seasonal maps and brochures, the VTFMA logo, and signs. They can be downloaded for use by members.
