About this listen

Defining farmers markets starts with one common thread: the presence of farmers, selling to shoppers. From there all bets are off and protocols and structure can vary widely. This week we're looking back to a conversation with farmer Jake Johannes from the Sacred Sun Cooperative. He shares how the Brookside Farmers Market in Kansas City, Missouri is organized as an almost all-volunteer market. Farmers and vendors serve on the board, actively assisting a paid manager to maintain standards centered on local food and "radically sustainable practices". Listen in as we talk about: • Centering producers • Maintaining market integrity • Avoiding conflicts of interest • Supporting your market manager • Compassionate decision making Today’s episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by Farmers Market University.
