Since 1995, marketumbrella.org has spent its efforts on running, studying and encouraging public markets In New Orleans and beyond. Before August of 2005, the 4 weekly Crescent City Farmers Markets, a holiday fair trade market called Festivus and the seasonal shrimper road show known as the White Boot Brigade kept the organization busy, as well as fielding informal calls and emails from other markets. From 1996-2005, over a dozen regional markets and another dozen nationally used the examples and insight from marketumbrella.org staff to build their knowledge.
Learning, sharing and growing, marketumbrella.org cultivates community markets that utilize local resources to bolster authentic local traditions. We believe that ambitious social, health, environmental and financial goals are achieved if trust and respect are present. We envision communities of market umbrellas, like flowers in the field, opening all over the world for the public good. marketumbrella.org is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3).
