Farmers markets can give businesses the opportunity to test market their products and grow their businesses with less expense, says a provincial marketing specialist.

“Farmers markets have always been seen as a business incubator where new businesses can start selling direct to consumers,” said Eileen Kotowich. “They get that immediate feedback and learn quickly how to market and hone their skills.”
