The Grower's Roundtable: Encouraging Conversations About Critical Farmers' Market Management Issues

The Growers' Roundtable Meeting provides a forum for open and productive conversations of difficult topics in farmers' market management. Because these ad-hoc groups do not take decisions, participants are free to listen and interact with the intent of learning from each other. The useful ideas that are generated during the meeting will subsequently reappear in many different settings. In a more general sense, getting the right people together to focus on important topics with appropriate conversational rules results in an excellent recipe for success.
