Skwinkle and I had this same discussion when we went to the Farmers Market Restaurant. She said it is Farmers, not Farmer's or Farmers' because it's not possessive or something. 7/16/2011 11:44:01 AM |

I think "farmers" or "farmer's" are both correct depending on the setup of said market. 7/16/2011 12:13:20 PM |

You could interpret it as a market for the farmer, not the market of a farmer. Reader's Digest isn't a digest owned and operated by a single reader.7/16/2011 12:52:56 PM |

but it, for lack of a better word, "belongs" to each reader...as in "Digest, for [you,], the reader".
Quote : | "it's a market of farmers
but it's not owned by farmers
so there's no apostrophe" |
Likewise, possessive in this sense doesn't imply legal ownership. My vote is for "Farmers' Market", although a case could be made for any of the three.

Speaking of which, do they still make Five Alive? I haven't seen that stuff in a while.

not, sure. The line was so long, they were moving folks in and out like cattle.

Farmers'
In aggregate the farmers sell their produce to the public at a central location
The farmers are doing the trading and purchased the space so it does imply some degree of possession
