FLIP is proud to sponsor the Farmers Market Coalition’s 22nd annual National Farmers Market Week
Taking place August 1–7, National Farmers Market Week (NFMW) celebrates the importance of farmers markets for local farmers and consumers. It’s a great opportunity for farmers market organizers and vendors to build awareness for their businesses and strengthen their communities, especially in the wake of a global pandemic.
If your local farmers market is open for business, we at FLIP encourage you to consider how you can get involved in this year’s NFMW and support your local market.
HOW CAN I CELEBRATE NATIONAL FARMERS MARKET WEEK?
As a farmers market organizer or vendor, there are many things you can do to support NFMW, from generating awareness within your community to running a special event specifically for the week. Planning something special can be overwhelming, though.
That’s why the Farmers Market Coalition has created a toolkit full of useful marketing advice on how to promote the week.
Inside the toolkit, you’ll find a variety of helpful materials, including templates for social media posts, hashtags, copy points, branded images, and more. No matter how you decide to raise awareness, the important thing is you are encouraging your community to get involved in your local farmers market.
