We asked. Market managers answered. It’s hard to be an expert in everything right away. These twelve Farmers Market Vendor Handouts are intended to make being a manager a little easier. Managers can share links to these online versions or provide hard copies directly to vendors. Handout topics range from vendor stall layout, to licensing, and insurance.
The handouts are a component of the Iowa Farmers Market Manager Toolkit.
