    Ep 358: Survive and Thrive | SNAP To It!
    Nov 3 2025
    Our theme for this season of Tent Talk is Survive and Thrive and boy does it feel relevant now more than ever. Between nearly a million government workers currently on furlough and 40 million people going without access to SNAP benefits, our customers, our farmers, and our communities are staring down the neck of truly dark and difficult times.That's why we're reaching into our toolkit and pulling out a word that guided us through the pandemic: PIVOT. It's time to lean on each other, get creative and resourceful, and mobilize quickly and efficiently to ensure our neighbors remain fed and our vendors balance their bottom line. Join us TODAY as we do exactly that during SNAP to It! a FREE live Zoom call with market managers across the country.

    Ep 357: Survive and Thrive | Harvesting Support
    Oct 27 2025
    Every year the last quarter never fails to creep up on us and 2025 is no exception. As we reflect on the year and look ahead at what's to come, everywhere we turn we're haunted by budgets. How can we continue to ensure that our market business is turning a profit? How can we create a safety net so in times of stress we're still financially secure? The answer is simple: sponsors! This week on Tent Talk, we're calling back to an old, but ever so relevant episode and are revisiting creative ways to harvest support. Tune in as we discuss:
    • The importance of budgeting for your market
    • Why you should be connecting with potential sponsors now, rather than waiting for "charitable giving" season
    • Helpful tips on the most effective ways to reach out to sponsors
    Listen along and then get excited about making 2026 more profitable and less stressful.
