Lydia Oberholtzer, Brian Moyer, John Berry and, Peggy Fogarty-Harnish (2012)

Summary

A survey of Farmers markets in Pennsylvania was implemented in February and March of 2012. The survey included approximately 25 questions intended to study information and technical assistance needs on the part of the markets, as well as characteristics of the markets that may define success. Some basic information about the markets was also collected. The survey covered the 2011 season for all markets. In addition, a portion of the survey of Pennsylvania farmers markets examined how Pennsylvania’s Act 106, and food safety issues in general, affected the markets during the 2011 season.
