Farmers Market Coalition

The national Farmers Market Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to working with farmers market operators to strengthen farmers markets across the United States so that they can serve as community assets while providing real income opportunities for farmers.

The mission of the national Farmers Market Coalition is “to strengthen farmers markets for the benefit of farmers, consumers, and communities.” FMC’s primary role is supporting those individuals and entities that operate farmers markets.

The Farmers Market Coalition is driven by three complementary goals — we call it our triple bottom line.

Farmers earn fair prices for the fruits of their labor by selling directly to consumers.

Consumers gain access to fresh, nutritious, local produce.

Communities regain a figurative “town square,” experiencing the many positive outcomes of foot traffic and community connection.

We work with markets of all sizes to work towards this triple bottom line and engage with their unique communities.

Our staff are located all over the country, and FMC serves as a central hub from which to locate allies, identify and share best practices, and positively impact public policy pertaining to farmers markets.
