Strategies for retaining farmers market vendors

Hanging onto farmers market vendors can be like herding cats! Often times they are creative, independent business owners who like to do their own thing. While it's true that vendors will come and go and the occasional turnover is just part of farmers market life. However there are numerous things market managers can do on an organization level to keep vendors consistently coming back week after week. In this episode of Tent Talk we discuss strategies for retaining farmers market vendors, maintaining longterm vendor relationships, and how to coach new vendors through the first few months of a new market. Tune in to hear how you can keep a consistent roster of farmers and vendors season to season and year over year. This week's episode is made possible by support from Square.
