Anti-Racism in Farmers' Markets:
A Toolkit for Markets and their teams
The Toolkit
Why?
This toolkit is designed for Market Managers, Boards of Directors, Market volunteers, and Market stakeholders.
It was developed to assist Farmers Markets in the shared goal of making Farmers Markets more equitable for farmers of colour, especially Black and Indigenous farmers, who have historically and are currently being shut out of the benefits of participating in Farmers Markets.
The toolkit is a living, growing, and evolving document. We welcome your feedback.
