The Toolkit was created in response to recurring questions from market managers. It is built around the three most common legal issue areas that markets encounter: understanding business structures, accepting SNAP benefits, and managing risks. This online Toolkit provides legal resources, best practice recommendations, and case studies on enhancing market governance structures, accepting SNAP benefits, and managing common risks. Market leaders can use these legal tools to clarify responsibilities and expectations of markets, their vendors, and host sites, among others.

If you think this resource would be valuable to colleagues and partners, please forward this email, or spread the word on social media.

Farmers markets sell fresh food, but they also do a lot more. Your market might help local farmers and small businesses thrive, promote healthy food access for community members, train people in growing and cooking wholesome food, or support the local food system in other ways! Whatever the case, if your market is a strong business in its own right, it can keep doing what it’s doing. @CAFScenter, @FMCorg, and @NOFAVT just launched the Farmers Market Legal Toolkit to support strong markets.
