To establish and operate community farmers markets, and to freely share the tools and knowledge that help markets of all sizes thrive.
What We Do
Start & Run Markets
We organize, launch, and operate community farmers markets — jury-curated, community-focused, and built to last.
Support Local Producers
We connect small-scale farmers, food producers, and artisans with their communities through curated, accessible marketplaces.
Share Free Tools
We develop and freely distribute market management tools for operators everywhere — no cost, no conditions.
Our Work So Far
Farmers Market Commons grows out of two active projects — proof that this work is real and already underway.
Farmers Market Development Project — Twin Elm Farm
We are currently developing a new, jury-curated community farmers market to be hosted at Twin Elm Farm in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Designed to support local growers, producers, and artisans while building a lasting community gathering place in the Monadnock Region.

Developed at Three Cats Bakery & Provisions, our free spreadsheet-based market management system helps organizers track vendors, manage layouts, and run their markets efficiently. Available to any market operator — no cost, no conditions.
