FMC is a membership-based, non-profit dedicated to strengthening farmers’ markets across the United States, including Wyoming, so that the markets can serve as community assets while providing income opportunities for producers.

FMC helps the operators of farmers’ markets to achieve three goals: farmers earn fair prices for the fruits of their labor by selling directly to consumers; consumers gain access to fresh, nutritious, locally grown produce; and communities regain a figurative ‘town square,’ experiencing the many positive outcomes of foot traffic and animated public space.

The FMC website contains a variety of resources to help farmers’ market managers and organizers, including frequently asked questions (and answers to those questions), marketing for farmers markets, a guide to accepting SNAP payments, a farmers’ market legal toolkit, and webinars.

The operators of farmers’ markets can seek technical assistance or advice on specific issues related to their markets by filling out the ‘Technical Assistance Form,’ which is available by clicking on the ‘Contact’ link at the bottom of the main website.
