Farmers ’ Market Manager
Training Workshop Jan. 27-28
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.
In a recent survey of New
York State’s farmers’ markets, it
was shown that a strong market
manager is considered a key in
gredient to a successful farmers’
market. A strong market manag
er will possess the leadership,
communication, and “people”
skills necessary to make a market
run smoothly, cooperatively and
efficiently, enhancing the market
as a community asset for both
farmers and consumers.

tion of New York provides a sup
port structure for the growth and
promotion of farmers' markets in
