If there is anyone seriously considering organizing a market and is new to agriculture or dealing with local farmers, know that the support and interest for a market *must* be there from the farmers. I'd say this is paramount, especially at first since gambling on a new market that may not succeed is asking too much for some. Do not assume they will all just be tickled to have a new venue. I put together a market last year with very little support, money or infrastructure and it would have gone a whole lot better if the farmers were more invested. I do not blame them for their lack of speaking up, it's just learning how to deal with people who have the main focus of growing the food day in and out.
