Our social media direct messages and our private Farmers Market Pros Community on Facebook are full of great discussions this month and always. We also hear about hot topics from the other forums we moderate or participate in, and from small farmers and vendors at the markets we manage.\\xa0

Tune in today as we discuss:

  • Evaluating air quality issues and how to reduce the harm to farmers, vendors and shoppers when you have to close a market to keep folks safe.

  • Will staying in your booth throughout a market increase your sales? If you\'re a market manager, can you help vendors find that answer?

  • How to encourage - or require - inclusivity and discourage - or prohibit -discriminatory sales practices at your market.

Sharing perspectives from our listeners helps everyone in the market community to figure out how to handle challenges. because only another\\xa0market member knows exactly how truly #ourjobisweird.\\xa0

Today\'s episode of Tent Talk, the\\xa0Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by Sticker Mule, providing printed labels and promotional products for farmers, vendors, and market managers to support their businesses.
