Ep 272: Christy Campli: Managing All the Events

Tent Talk

How do you go from zero to 60, or maybe 90, in a bit less than three short years? For Christy Campli, some keys were starting with experience in local food systems, and building on an established brand. Now she manages multiple year-round weekly farmers markets, regularly scheduled artisan markets and several annual events with a small but mighty team. Listen in as we talk with Christy about the finer points of managing multiple types of markets and events.

• How some systems overlap and how some differ for different types of events
• Scheduling vendors intentionally to avoid cookie cutter events
• Collaborating with other types of food outlets to benefit farmers
• Finding camp buddies for life along with new ideas at the InTents Conference

Today’s episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by Food-4-All, pioneering online order systems to connect local farmers, makers and markets with their communities.
