Research from the University of California shows that farmers markets benefit local communities. Forty years ago wholesale markets were inaccessible to farmers, so farmers markets were slowly developed. They allowed farmers to group together to provide a large enough amount of goods for customers needs, but also allowed the farmers goods to vary in quantity and type as seasons progressed.According to the article farmers, communities and individual residents are the three beneficiaries of local farmers markets. Communities that support local farmers markets develop a greater control over their destinies. This idea of control over destiny extends to the farmers who can increase their sales, learn to develop their businesses, and provide a greater range of goods. The social benefit of the interactions of the groups is more than just commercial; it is educational as well, with the learning going both ways.
In addition, in many parts of the country "low-income and elderly community residents receive particular benefits from farmers markets, where they are more likely to find healthful, affordable, nutritious food or ethnically appropriate foods than at retail food outlets. Many markets accept food stamps or vouchers from the Farmers Market Nutrition Program or the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program."

Neil Hamilton of Drake University has also written a lot about the benefits of farmers markets for those who are interested ... the personal connection between our food and where it comes from grows wider every year, and farmers markets provide a healthy and affordable way for people to maintain that connection.
