More and more of Ohio’s farmers’ markets are requiring liability insurance from their vendors. In our effort to provide markets and vendors with information essential to their success, we at Farmers’ Market Management Network will publish insurance resources as they become available in Ohio.
Your FMMN membership supports this site and enables us to make these resources available. If you are not yet a member of FMMN, learn more about our membership benefits.
