Penn State Extension invites farmers market managers to join the upcoming Farmers Market Manager Forum on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET.
This live, interactive webinar offers a valuable opportunity for market managers to connect, exchange ideas, and address shared challenges in a supportive learning environment.
Held on the last Wednesday of every month, the forum promotes collaboration and peer learning among market leaders across the region. Participants are encouraged to bring questions, share their own experiences, and discuss effective strategies to improve market operations.
Whether facing issues with vendor recruitment, customer engagement, or market regulations, attendees will benefit from the collective knowledge and support of fellow managers.
The event is led by Penn State Extension experts and is free of charge, thanks to funding from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service’s Farmers Market Promotion Program Grant.
However, registration is required to access the webinar link. The deadline to register is 12:00 p.m. ET on July 23.
Designed specifically for farmers market managers, this one-hour session aims to strengthen markets through open dialogue, practical advice, and shared resources.
