 * Markets** are as old as the crossroads.

They are a mashup of conversations and commerce embedded in the 360 face-to-face exchange. The best markets are a combination of tasting rooms and empathy museums.

Questions
What seasonal produce did you pick up at the farmers' markets on the weekend?

Farmers' Markets
A Farmers' Market is a predominantly fresh food market that operates regularly within a community, at a focal public location that provides a suitable environment for farmers and food producers to sell farm-origin and associated value-added processed food products directly to customers.

What started as a grass roots movement has really caught on, for a whole host reasons. Farmers markets are found all over the world. A little over ten years ago there were no farmers markets in Australia; today there are around 120. In England there are more than 800 and in the USA, more than 4,000. ([|Bush telegraph])

Clients gravitate to the markets to connect to place, seasonality and building trust with people and the people who produce it. [|www.farmersmarkets.org.nz] [|www.farmersmarkets.org.au] [|Market Umbrella]

Questions
Does the market have a vision statement? Does the market have a directory of members? Does the market show the distance the food and products have travelled to the market? Do market venders use purified water and ice made from purified water? What is local market culture? What is world market culture? What are the expectations of an organic market? Do the products have to be locally produced? Do organic products need to be certified? Who certifies the certifiers? Does the market have recycling? Does the market have live or recorded music? Does the market have a Facebook page? Does the market have wifi? mainstreaming empathy museum

Misc
Local markets are key in so many ways -- economically, socially, physically -- and often so overlooked. - [|Robin King]
