The Market Manager Certificate Program is a voluntary program created by the Michigan Farmers Market Association, designed to encourage farmers market managers to pursue leadership skills and professional development in topics essential to market management. Market managers will be recognized with a certificate upon completion of the full program. This certificate offers acknowledgment to market organizers and vendors that the market manager is a trained professional.
The 2026 Market Manager Certificate Program will kick off with two in-person sessions on January 16 & 17 in Grand Rapids, followed by webinars every Monday and Wednesday evening. The program concludes with presentations February 16.
