Abstract

People have always maintained close ties with their market places. For centuries, crude production and simple distribution impelled direct trading between producers and consumers. Perhaps this helps to explain the enduring ambition of these two groups to span the gap between them. This report deals with plans and facilities of these markets where farmers and farm women sell their products, in many Instances directly to the consumer. There were in 1946 approximately 750 of these outlets for farm produce throughout the country. Thirty- seven farmers' markets were visited in 17 States and the District of Columbia to study plans, structures, and equipment in order to provide information helpful to farmers' cooperatives who may be planning to build new markets or improve their old ones. Those studied included six general types of Farmers Markets: Women's, City Retail, City Wholesale, Wholesale Redistribution, Wholesale Regional, and Wholesale Shipping Point Markets.
