Shiny Flanary on managing farmers markets that center BIPOC vendors and shoppers
b"
There\\u2019s a lot of talk among farmers market operators about how to bring diversity, equity and inclusion into the farmers market space, and a lot of confusion about how to do that. This week on Tent Talk we dive deep into this topic with our guest Shiny Flanary, a Black, queer farmer at Scrapberry Farm, the Director of Markets at Black Food Sovereignty Coalition and the founder and manager of Come Thru Market, a Black and Indigenous market in Portland, Oregon. In this episode Shiny shares how and why she launched a BIPOC market and provides a treasure trove of practical ways to make farmers markets a space for everyone. This week's episode is made possible by support from EcoFarm.
