What to do about pirate vendors
This week we\u2019re discussing an issue that all market managers seem to face: pirate vendors. No, we\u2019re not talking about buccaneers that sail the seven seas, we\u2019re talking about sellers and solicitors that set up in or around a farmers market as unofficial vendors. Though usually well-intentioned, hawkers, buskers, petitioners, and street vendors can confuse shoppers about where and when the actual farmers market begins, encroach on sales, and could potentially be a liability for farmers market operators. Tune in for some commiseration and brainstorming about what to do and how to handle these unofficial farmers market vendors. This week's episode is made possible by support from Vendor-101.
