Just for the sake of argument let’s say the market is on a city
street and makets over $10,000 a year.... Celeste From:

I am just curious who is responsible, i.e. who get the profits
from your farmers market? Is it the vendors, a committee, the city
or government entity? The Laramie Market is ‘owned’ by the Downtown Merchants
Association, they receive the profits from the market. They hire a manger but
all other income remains with the merchant group. I believe this is
unusual but was wondering if other communities have a similar format? Celeste in Laramie A sunny day with no snow! _______________________________________________ Both the markets I go to, and several other markets I know
of in the area, are owned by the market itself; they are not-for-profit, and
the money brought in by the market for vendors' fees etc. is used for the
expenses of the market. I think markets on private property are occasionally owned
by the property owner, in which case presumably the property owner makes some
money from them; but I can't imagine that there's much money to be made, unless
maybe it's such a prime location that it's possible to charge high fees without
spending a lot for advertising, management, insurance, and taking care of the
site. Does the Laramie Downtown Merchants Association pay for
advertising, insurance, and any needed site upkeep and/or rent for the site, as
well as for the manager? If not, how are these expenses paid for? or do they
just not do any of that, and hope for the best? -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
