Who operates farmers markets?
Some big urban areas are home to regional market networks, such as Greenmarket in New York City, FreshFarm Markets in Washington, DC, and Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance in Seattle. Many markets operate independently, or with the help of city or nonprofit partners, sometimes transitioning to a stand-alone nonprofit as they grow. No matter how farmers markets organize, there is always a market manager or market master who enforces the market bylaws and oversees the daily business of the market. The market manager is generally the best point of contact for any questions.
