Iowa Farmers Market Managers Virtual Meetup – 1
Thursday, April 30, 2020 • 2 PM – 3 PM • Online!
Iowa has more than 200 farmers markets and right now they are all troubleshooting. Our team is hearing from managers around the state about how COVID-19 is impacting their market schedule and inspiring modified approaches. Customers want to support local. Vendors depend on markets for income. Managers are scrambling to make decisions at their local level that honor COVID-19 best practices and serve the needs of their community.
On Thursday, April 30th from 2-3pm farmers market managers are invited to join a virtual conversation. Connect with other market managers, share concerns, and hear about what’s working and what’s not.
Hosted by Iowa Valley RC&D and Northeast Iowa RC&D.
