  • Ep 348: Sagdrina Brown Jalal | Building A Bigger Tent: Rooted in Resilience
    Jun 9 2025

    We're talking this month about Building a Bigger Tent at our farmers markets. Let's remember that the more people and communities we welcome to markets, the deeper our variety of produce, products and personalities. Exclusion, whether purposeful or just thoughtless, means we miss out on all the richness that comes with diversity.

    Sagdrina Brown Jalal is back with us for this episode, just in time for Juneteenth. While that day of historic remembrance is coming up next week on June 19th, observances and events will start this weekend and extend into next. We're talking about how your market can support that holiday. And we're looking at how organizations like the West Georgia Farmers Cooperative are working to level the playing field and lift up small farmers all year round. Tune in while we discuss:

    • Support can be more appropriate than leadership
    • The exhausting history of resilience
    • Bridging urban and rural division
    • Looking beyond Federal funding
    • Partnership and collaboration as strength

  • Ep 346: Are Farmers Present? | Defining Farmers Markets: Keeping Our Word
    May 26 2025
    Wrapping up our series on defining farmers markets, we're chatting in this episode about what a farmers market is, and what it isn't. Whether inadvertently or intentionally, a lot of places and platforms and events are identified as farmers markets that don't meet the definition. Tents alone do not a farmers market make and the same goes for fresh produce. Are there farmers present? Does it happen regularly? We're intent on keeping our word. Speaking up for farmers markets means reminding people what a farmers market really is, and why that matters. Listen in as we discuss
    • What makes a farmers market
    • Helping consumers know the difference
    • Other platforms, other names
    • Calling out greenwashing
    • Keeping our word
