Programs

  • Public Education Events

    PUBLIC EDUCATION EVENTS INCLUDES EDUCATIONAL EVENTS AT MARKET AND AT OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS, AS WELL AS MEDIA INTERVIEWS AND TALKS AT MEETINGS OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS WHERE WE CAN INFLUENCE COMMUNITY LEADERS. OUR AIM IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF LOCALLY GROWN, DIRECT-MARKETED FOODS AND OTHER AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. THIS UNDERSTANDING IS CRITICAL TO PUBLIC SUPPORT OF LAND USE LAWS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT POLICIES THAT BENEFIT LOCAL GROWERS. COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS AND SAMPLING EVENTS BENEFIT NON-VENDORS AS WELL AS VENDORS IN THE FARM-DIRECT MARKETING LINE OF BUSINESS. ANOTHER GOAL OF THESE EFFORTS IS COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION, WHICH IS TIED TO INCREASED CONSUMPTION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

  • Farmers Market Site Management

    SITE MANAGEMENT. OUR FARMERS MARKETS ARE THE PRIMARY WAY THAT MOST LOCAL RESIDENTS LEARN ABOUT FARM DIRECT MARKETERS. THE SIGHTS, SMELLS AND SOUNDS PEOPLE EXPERIENCE SIMPLY BY WALKING IN OR NEAR ONE OF OUR MARKETS ARE A SENSORY ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE WHOLE CONCEPT AND VALUE OF LOCALLY GROWN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM THE PRODUCERS. THE FARMERS MARKETS BUILD AWARENESS AND CREDIBILITY FOR FARM DIRECT PRODUCTS THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING AMONG THOSE WHO VISIT AND TELL THEIR ASSOCIATES.
