farmers'

were it "farmer's" that would imply the market belongs to one farmer.

7/16/2011 11:38:50 AM

farmers, but sometimes i emphasize an apostrophe

7/16/2011 11:39:04 AM

I will change my things.

7/16/2011 11:40:35 AM

Another vote for farmers', I think it varies per location.

7/16/2011 11:43:42 AM

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

multiple farmers are marketing their wares

7/16/2011 11:44:35 AM

it's a market of farmers

but it's not owned by farmers

so there's no apostrophe

7/16/2011 11:46:14 AM

I have changed my vote to farmers.

I think "farmers" or "farmer's" are both correct depending on the setup of said market.

I mean

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.

^^possessive use of apostrophe, look into it.

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.

Best investment of the day...I've kept the big cup with the fruit in it. Refilled it with water like 4 times. Lightly flavored fruit water ftw.

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
