Here in North Carolina the General Assembly set aside funds 2
or 3 years ago for small non-state farmers market to apply for. These grants
could be custom made to fit that markets needs. Our market (Carrboro Farmers
Market) apply for and received funds to purchase a permanent sign, assist the
town in paying to improve a parking lot, trolley service for the heavy use
months and park benches. Whereas another market received funds to purchase these
push-up tents to provide cover to the vendors because they used a parking
lot to sell in.
In the tobacco settlement 50% of the funds are to be set aside
to assist communities to meet their needs due to reduce farm income from tobacco
growers. Here in Orange County they applied for funds to build a market shelter
in Hillsborough and fund a position to help promote locally grown products. They
did not success this time around.
