Leadership and Board of Directors

Farmers’ Markets Ontario® is governed by five elected executive members and eight volunteer directors.

To bring perspectives from across the province, two directors represent each of Ontario’s four regions: Eastern, Western, Central and Northern Ontario.

FMO’s Executive Director oversees the organization’s day-to-day operations and works with the Board to support members, strengthen farmers’ markets and advance FMO’s priorities.
