Connect

FMC’s network is one of the most powerful levers for impact in the local food system. All market operators, state associations, and network leaders are eligible to benefit from our programs—regardless of financial contribution.

FMC’s work centers on three core functions: Connect, Educate, and Advocate. Market operators and state leaders CONNECT with FMC in the following ways:

• Quarterly virtual meetings that foster peer learning, collaboration, and shared problem‑solving.

• National Farmers Market Week coordination to elevate shared stories, resources, and recognition across states and markets.

• A national listserv for networking, questions, and support.

• Participation in FMC’s Annual Meeting.
