RE: Farmer's Markets Workbook
Larry, Good morning,
Organizing farmer's markets is a topic that the Center for Rural Pennsylvania
has been studieing for a while. They have put together a booklet entitled
"Starting and Strengthening Farmer's Markets in Pennsylvania". It is a
step-by-step workbook you may find useful. You can get a copy from:

I'm looking for some information on how to go about establishing a farmer's
market or an open air market. We are looking to establish this type of
market for residents of the community to sell their wares as sort of a
community development project.
-What are some of the pitfalls to be aware of?
-What type of products tend to sell well?
-Who comes to these markets?
I've been to those open air markets in Europe and was duely impressed by
the selection and the sheer number of vendors.
Any and all comments will be welcome!
Thanks!
