A brief description of the enterprise:
The Organic Farmers Market Consortium is a student-run organization that coordinates and manages a weekly Farmers Market during the Fall & Spring semesters each Wednesday from 12 pm to 3 pm on FIU's Modesto Maidique Campus. The students manage all money made by the market and use profits to improve the campus garden and operations of the market. Some of the produce sold at the markets is from the organic garden on campus. The Consortium also invites other local organic farmers, vendors, and campus departments to participate in the market.
