Our Mission
Support and educate farmers market managers, producers and their stakeholders, in support of resilient, direct-to-consumer marketplaces.
The Ohio Farmers Market Network (formerly known as the Farmers Market Management Network or FMMN) is a 501(c)3 organization founded in 2008 that represents the interests of farmers markets throughout Ohio, their managers and their vendors.
The Ohio Farmers Market Network (OFMN) provides farmers markets and vendors with resources, tools, networking opportunities and a unified voice for public policy. Over the past 15 years, OFMN has worked with member and non-member markets and farmers, as well as the general public.
Our network works cooperatively with market managers, vendors, municipalities and other agencies to identify common goals and align resources when possible. In doing so, we address concerns of markets large and small, representing urban, suburban and rural markets and producers.

Our Vision for the Future
A vibrant Ohio food system where the regional agricultural community is the predominant source of nutritious food for all people, regardless of income.
2025-2026 Board Members
Our work is generated by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of farmers market managers, vendors and stakeholders. They establish and execute strategic direction and set broad policy in support of the Network’s stated mission. We thank our members for their commitment and dedication to the Network and for their unwavering support of Ohio’s farmers markets and food producers.
