Collaborative Outreach and Risk Mitigation for Limited-Resource, Socially Disadvantaged, Immigrant, Refugee and Beginning farmers through improvement of direct marketing resources for farmers’ markets.

Beginning in 2006 and continuing through much of 2007, on behalf of the Arkansas Farmers’ Market Association, I participated in a national project designed to help local farmers markets. The project was organized and managed by the Henry Wallace Center at Winrock International, and the Northeast Midwest Institute – two nonprofit organizations with their offices in Washington, DC. The project was funded through a partnership agreement with the USDA Risk Management Agency, and focused on the needs of farmers on the fringe.
