The Farmers Market Manager Workshop will be held March 13, 2025, at the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum Sparkman Building in Jackson, MS.
Join us for our annual Farmers Market Manager Workshop specifically designed for market managers, staff, volunteers, and board members to learn and share strategies for managing a farmers market effectively and efficiently! We’ll cover essential topics such as understanding market infrastructure and operations, along with navigating regulatory, labeling, and food safety requirements for selling at farmers markets. Learn valuable strategies for farmer, vendor, and customer retention, and discover how to curate effective sponsorship opportunities. We’ll also dive into Cottage Foods regulations and provide an overview of sales tax considerations. Whether you’re just starting or looking to expand your market, this workshop will provide the tools you need to succeed!
