Farmers Market Managers - This event is an opportunity for you to share your support of a region-wide effort towards growing, marketing and enhancing farmers markets in Central Ohio. Your participation will showcase the collaboration and cooperation with the Ohio Farmers Market Network and other Central Ohio farmers markets, all for the betterment of the local food economy.
Consider this an opportunity to excite your vendors! Think of it as saying, "We want to put more dollars in your pocket, and here's how we're going to do it! Look at all the ways we've been working to improve our market!"
Vendors - The farmers market season is about to kickoff and you're consumed with your farm or business, as you should be. However, it's important that you know the benefits of participating in a local food system that's bigger than any one farmers market or vendor, and how that system is working for you.
Not only will you learn about OFMN's 2020 plans for marketing and engagement, you'll hear it directly from partners including Produce Perks and The Wonder Jam. Hear about the work being done, what's to come and how you can engage and participate.
