In the spring of 2011, the North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association (NDFMGA) offered its member markets a $500 grant in exchange for collecting information to aid the Association and its members. The information collected as a result of this grant varied from customer counts and produce prices to reports on promotional events.

The following report is a brief compilation of some of the relevant information collected through this grant.

Keep in mind that 2011 was a particularly difficult year for the markets. Much of the state saw extensive flooding in the spring and early summer. This affected the availability of produce, market start dates, and even how many vendors had produce to sell during the summer of 2011.
