Somehow being subscribed in digest form I missed the original question.....
http://www.ams.usda.gov/directmarketing has a lot of on-line resources. (Look particularly under "resources and links" and check out "on line articles and publications" - I think there are some manuals there on line.
I am trying to work on expanding a new section on "Where can I get assistance for my market or project?" http://www.ams.usda.gov/directmarketing/funding.htm Unfortunately all I can put are US government sources - eventually I hope to have more information so it is easier to read....but it is a start!
If you are looking for manuals on "how to start a farmers market". I have a lot of them - and am happy to send copies of some. We are working with the University of California (Desmond Jolly and company) that we will be publishing but in the meantime I can get you others.
If the question was one of starting an "association" there is a national directory of farmers market and direct marketing associations that should (keep your fingers crossed!) be available on-line in a month or two....two - three months for the hard copy. Sometimes there is a local, state or regional groups that can help you.
Annnnnnnnnnd....if you are thinking about starting a farmers market or direct marketing associations we are partnering with NAFDMA (North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association) to have manuals on how to start an association about a year from now.
Whoever put up the original post.....please email me if you need me to send you stuff! (Or anyone else for that matter!) :) My USDA email is claire.klotz AT usda.gov
