You gotta love farmers markets. Not only are they wonderful for their selection of fresh produce, turns out they’re wonderful for our economy, too. According to a preliminary 2011 SEED Report measuring the economic impact of Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market (conducted via marketumbrella.org), KCFM’s annual economic impact on vendors, its host neighborhood and the surrounding region is… wait for it… over $1 million.
The complete report, which includes other regional farmers markets, will be released in 2012.
