https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/56f6448b-0dc5-4138-ae5c-7c039cbe4d93 The pandemic has put pressure on all aspects of life and business, including farmers markets. Using the Ithaca Farmers Market as an example, I show the complexity of large farmers market systems, what it's like as a farmer to sell within those systems, and talk about the stresses applied to the market by the different interests of vendors and customers. The pandemic has pushed the Ithaca market to the breaking point, causing disagreement among vendors, management, and leadership about the best course the market should take. Long-simmering tensions have reached the boiling point...can the market be repaired, or would it be better for the market to rethink their basic organizational principles? website: http://justafewacres.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Just-a-few-acres-farm-187074114794963/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justafewacresfarm/?hl=en email: peterelarson3@gmail.com To order Pete's book; "A Year and a Day on Just a Few Acres:" https://www.amazon.com/Year-Day-Just-Few-Acres/dp/149549957X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NM8AQPCG3IT5&dchild=1&keywords=a+year+and+a+day+on+just+a+few+acres&qid=1587327049&sprefix=a+year+and+a+day+on+just%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:21:55 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/56f6448b-0dc5-4138-ae5c-7c039cbe4d93 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
