Fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, baked goods, and handmade crafts: America?s farmers markets are certainly all of these things. But they?re also much more than meets the eye. Farmers markets nourish our communities by creating jobs, connecting producers directly with consumers, and cultivating strong local, regional, and national food systems.

While farmers markets provide invaluable services to their communities, they, like any other business, require the proper nurturing to grow. That is where the SBA can lend a hand.?This National Farmers Market Week, August 7-13, 2022, check out SBA's resources to help you start and grow your business.
