Why the “Pocket”?

Pocket markets are different from farmers markets in that staff and volunteers sell directly on behalf of local vendors, so the farmers don’t have to leave the field. This lessens the burden on farmers to attend multiple markets thereby increasing the economic viability of local food production, creating new avenues for distribution, and broadening access to fresh, local food within the community!
