Farmers Market University is a program of the Virginia Farmers Market Association, a 501c3 non-profit. We’ve been teaching online market management courses since 2017.

With so many of our students coming from outside of Virginia, we realized there was national interest in our courses. We launched this platform to make them available to all.
