    Ep 346: Are Farmers Present? | Defining Farmers Markets: Keeping Our Word
    May 26 2025
    Wrapping up our series on defining farmers markets, we're chatting in this episode about what a farmers market is, and what it isn't. Whether inadvertently or intentionally, a lot of places and platforms and events are identified as farmers markets that don't meet the definition. Tents alone do not a farmers market make and the same goes for fresh produce. Are there farmers present? Does it happen regularly? We're intent on keeping our word. Speaking up for farmers markets means reminding people what a farmers market really is, and why that matters. Listen in as we discuss
    • What makes a farmers market
    • Helping consumers know the difference
    • Other platforms, other names
    • Calling out greenwashing
    • Keeping our word

    Ep 345: Shop Outside the Box | Defining Farmers Markets: Delivering Net Growth
    May 19 2025
    In this episode of our series on defining farmers markets we consider online ordering and delivery services by looking back to a June, 2021 conversation with Christine Farren, Executive Director of San Francisco's Foodwise. Back then, the organization formerly known as Cuesa was redesigning the curated boxes developed on the fly during peak Covid into a delivery service managed with a logistics partner. Tune in as we discuss how online ordering and home delivery fits into the definition of farmers markets as a place where farmers and eaters form relationships. Listen to our conversation about:
    • Flexibility as a superpower
    • Sharing other organizations' strengths
    • Doing the math on delivery
    • Keeping new systems equitable
    • The importance of face time
