Calling all current and future market vendors!
We’re excited to announce the launch of the Hudson Valley Farmers’ Market Academy, a professional development series designed to help farmers’ market vendors grow and succeed. This initiative is created and supported by Common Ground Farm, the Beacon Farmers’ Market, and the Newburgh Farmers’ Market, with the goal of strengthening our local food community while supporting small businesses.
The academy will be structured in a series of workshops that will cover essential topics like branding, marketing, sales strategies, customer engagement, both design, business development/growth, and more—providing valuable insights from both industry professionals and experienced market vendors.
Thanks to USDA grant funding, we’re able to offer these valuable learning opportunities at no cost to participants. Whether you're a current vendor looking to refine your skills or a potential vendor interested in getting started, this series offers valuable insights to help you succeed.
