Shiprock Farmers Market
Navajo farmers have difficulties in marketing their fresh grown produce. Though, the local flea market existed, they have relied on roadside stands. Most have parked anywhere near the main highways and have caused traffic hazards. Due to these problems, the Shiprock Farmers Market was established in 2006. It was a way to provide a safe and accessible marketing avenue for the consumers. In addition, the farmers have requested formal training to improve their crop and vegetable production.
