The Food Market Incubator Booth is an incubator program funded by Marin County Park's Measure A Food, Agriculture, and Resilient Ecosystems (FARE) Grant, running from Summer 2025 through 2027. It is designed to support emerging Marin's food-based entrepreneurs from West Marin, Marin City, San Rafael's Canal neighborhood, and Southern Novato reducing key barriers to entry into AIM's certified farmers markets. Incubator Booth participants will receive booth space and a health permit free of charge, a stipend, marketing support, and individualized training for business growth. The goal is to help them assess how farmers markets would fit into their business model.
