The Farmers Market Coalition is a small nonprofit based in Albany, California, focused on strengthening farmers markets across the United States. It aims to strengthen markets as community assets by enabling farmers to earn fair prices when selling directly to consumers and by expanding access to fresh, local produce for shoppers. Through these efforts, FMC seeks to revitalize public spaces and communities, demonstrating that robust markets can support farmers, consumers, and neighborhoods. The organization positions itself as an information center and advocacy voice for North American farmers markets, and it works to foster strong state and regional associations and educational programming for managers and vendors. A recent development includes a partnership with the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association in 2026 to share lessons with California markets and beyond, reflecting its role as a national hub for collaboration.
