Organisers' Handbook

Building Successful Farmers’ Markets – A guide for market organisers

As part of the work of Making Local Food Work to support farmers’ markets we have produced a short guide designed as a resource for market organisers who are running existing markets. It aims to give simple, practical, hands-on advice about how to run successful farmers’ markets and focuses on marketing techniques and the impact that these techniques will have.

This workbook has been created to accompany the first stage of support for farmers’ markets during which information is gathered on the performance of markets. It pulls together a broad range of ideas, hints and tips on how to make farmers’ market great – how to take performance to the next level. The material has been drawn from observing what works well at the best farmers’ markets not only in Britain, but also around the world.

This workbook does not cover the detail of what is needed to set up a farmers’ market – for instance the insurance and legal requirements for markets.
