The Farmers Market Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening farmers markets across the United States so that they can serve as community assets while providing real income opportunities for farmers. The mission of FMC is “to strengthen farmers markets for the benefit of farmers, consumers, and communities.”
FMC consists of a small but mighty team passionate about supporting markets around the country and the farmers that sell at them. Because FMC is a remote organization, team members are based throughout the country, collaborating through video chat software and phone meetings often. Employees and interns may be located anywhere that they have sufficient access to internet and phone service, and must be self-motivated and comfortable working independently.
The position of GusNIP Research & Resource Associate is a remote, full-time (0.8 FTE), non-exempt hourly position reporting to the GusNIP Project Manager.

The Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) is a federal USDA grant program supporting retail outlets with nutrition incentives programs to make fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable for low-income populations. FMC’s work on the GusNIP project revolves around supporting grantees who oversee Farm Direct (FD) retail sites like farmers markets, farm stands, and CSA programs.
