Episode 259: Cara Mae Wooledge: Fundraising The Bar

Cara Mae Wooledge invites us into the world of fundraising for Farmers Markets! It can feel uncomfortable asking your community to contribute financially to your market beyond simply shopping there. However, it helps to remember that it’s not just a money ask, it’s an invitation to be part of what we do, and an opportunity grow community connection around local food.
