It's time to tell the story about the number and impact of community farmers markets in the U.S. If we've met, you've heard of this project of mine; I have been gathering stories and data from markets over the past 25 years. This research will result in a book that tells the story to the public and policy leaders, as this project's newsletter title indicates:

"The Story of the Modern Farmers Market: How it champions farms, connections, and happiness."

The funds raised here will give me the time and funds to travel and gather more stories and to write the darn thing even as I continue to work with market leaders in my daytime job.
