Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market contributes
over $1 million to the local economy
marketumbrella.org preliminary findings from economic impact
study on the Cleveland farmers market

On Sunday, January 8th at 3853 West 168th Street, fresh food will change hands for cash as it does indoors the second Sunday of Each month November through May and outdoors every Sunday June – October since the Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market opened in 2007. On this particular Sunday the organizers will share preliminary economic impact findings prepared by nationally renowned public market think tank, marketumbrella.org, with the release of their 2011 Economic Impact Study.

According to the report, the Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market operates twenty nine Sundays a year with a combined economic impact of $1,111,224.25 upon its vendors, host neighborhoods, and surrounding region. The report is generated by SEED (a web application) developed by the New Orleans-based public market organization, marketumbrella.org, to capture what Executive Director Richard McCarthy describes as “an often surprising if not furtive economic impact of the original business incubator, the farmers market.”

The numbers appear to support this claim: The Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market attracts 16,370 visits from shoppers over a year. This results in gross combined receipts of $ 283,969.24. SEED also reports that 44% of Market shoppers spend money at nearby businesses resulting in $252,854.07 in projected gross receipts and an annual contribution of $18,964.05 to local sales tax revenue.

"When Kamm's Corners Development, along with an enthusiastic group of founding volunteers, opened the market in 2007, part of the reason was to realize the economic spin-off to benefit new and existing businesses. We never dreamed of a million dollar impact, or the "town square" image the market has attained. And let's certainly not forget the many benefits of fresh and local food for the residents of the neighborhood, said Steve Lorenz, Executive Director of Kamm's Corners Development."

USDA invests in farmers markets as institutions with a triple bottom-line of impacts upon communities – financial, human, and social — via several programs. These investments appear to be bearing fruit: USDA reports that as of 2010 there are 6,132 farmers markets operating in the USA — as compared to 1,775 in 1994.

Working with philanthropic support, marketumbrella.org is developing a trio of tools to measure these impacts for a growing field of markets. Its first tool — SEED — utilizes the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ RIMS II economic multiplier methodology. It is a free, online measurement tool that has been used by over 100 markets throughout the USA. Here in Cleveland, two additional Growhio Farmers Markets, Coit Road Farmers Market and Tremont Farmers Market also took part in the survey.

marketumbrella.org is a 501[c]3 nongovernmental organization based in New Orleans but operates globally to cultivate the field of public markets for public good. The SEED economic evaluation tool can be found online at marketumbrella.org.

The Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market is free and open to the public outdoors every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the second Sunday in June through the second Sunday in October and indoors the second Sunday of each month November through May. For more information about the Market visit online at www.kammscornersfarmersmarket.org.

Happenings at Gordon Square Farmers' Market Saturday

Hello fellow eaters:

I know that we are coming to the end of the year because my swiss chard froze on Friday night.  So did the beautiful lettuce and snap peas that belong to my fellow community gardeners.  Now, if we had row covers the chard and lettuce might still be going, so, maybe next year (did I say that last year?).  When I was picking on Friday evening after work to salvage as much as possible, I was the only person in the garden, something that is very unusual for most of gardening season.  Being in the garden at dusk by myself with very cold fingers reminded me that a large percentage of the fun that I have as a community gardener comes from working in the garden with other gardeners so we can chat and speculate and plan and complain about the devil's grass that is trying to invade our fence line and plots, etc.  This is also one of the things that I like about the farmers' market, and about which I have not written  much this year:  it is a public meeting place where you do not have to pay to gain admission, people are interested in food, people care about neighborhood and urban issues, there is good coffee, and, did I mention that there is good food and folks to suggest ways to prepare that food.  And it is a public sphere over which anyone who is interested and has some stick-to-it-tiveness can have a say (ahem, so if you are interested in helping out with the market in any way, let anyone at the market know; there is lots to do).  The reason that I mention all of this now, gentle eater, is that while many folks are enjoying seasonal get-togethers in December, we are heading into the hibernation months, when it takes more effort to be neighborly, because we are not all outside doing stuff and we have to climb snow mountains to walk anywhere.  But we should make the effort, because neighborliness is a good habit to have.  So, in addition to coming to the market on Saturday-- with an empty stomach, because there are going to be many ready-to-eat delights--we should make the effort to continue our conviviality through the cold and dark months.  We can have potlucks and be community eaters through the winter, too, while thinking, dreaming ahead for our gardens and markets.  Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.

Thank you for coming to the market and for thinking and acting in favor of local food and food systems, your correspondent, julie lindstrom

"Farmers and eaters unite!
Thousands have gathered in Occupy demonstrations across the country to protest the greed of banks, the power of corporations, widespread unemployment, the widest income gap in US history.

No one knows the struggle better than family farmers. Since the 1980s more than a million farm families have been forced off the land, leading to factory farms and industrial, chemical intensive agribusiness that is more consolidated than ever.

Food is too important to be put into the hands of a few corporations!
Let's claim our farms and food for the health of our bodies, our soil, our water and our economy."

Peace and good eats,
