Created to address the needs of real market managers…

Based on our experience running real-world markets, we created MarketWurks to address our needs and as it’s grown, turned it into a platform to help markets all around the world. MarketWurks is now used by markets in 6 countries and counting, saving market managers countless hours of work each week.

Our Vision

We believe farmers’ markets help build stronger, healthier communities. 

Because of this, MartketWurks has remained true to our roots in market management over the last 5 years.  

We continue to progress the MarketWurks software based on what you, our market managers, ask for and the feedback you give us each season, continually delivering the tools that empower you to process applications, run your market, keep vendor data secure and gain all the valuable insights that a data-driven platform can provide.

NEW for 2025 !

We have been listening to all of our MarketWurks family AND those of you that have had questions about our program. As a result, we have dedicated the majority of the last six months of 2024 consulting with users, developing and testing a feature that will take your invoicing and “incentive coupon” management to the next level.

As with everything we do, we have strived to make this feature as intuitive as possible for you, the users. Version 1 of this feature will be released in January of 2025.

If you would like to see a preview of this feature, please fill out the Free Trial form further down this page and we will set up a demo account for you. We can then set up an online meeting to review this and all features that make your market/event manager lives easier.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Chris

Testimonials

"We joined the MarketWurks family in 2015 and had our most successful and smoothest-running show during the holidays of 2016.  The software is simple and easy to use, intuitive, and if you do end up having some struggles, Chris and the team are only a phone call away and more than happy to help you out!  The upgrades that have rolled out in 2017 have been amazing and have only helped to improve our efficiency in reviewing, accepting and organizing the hundreds of applications we receive from Vendors to join our shows!  I'd gladly refer MarketWurks to anyone looking to make their market organizational life quicker and easier - hands down, this has been the best software I've ever encountered, and coming from an OCD A-type personality person like myself, that means a lot!"

"Sometimes, it takes a small business to understand a small business and that's exactly what Marketwurks has done.  Being that it was created by a market manager, it covers our software needs that we didn't even realize we were missing.  It saved hours of time in our first year and with the improvements that they keep adding to the program, it's going to streamline our market!  We can't thank Marketwurks enough for their dedication to service (always a phone call away) and their excellent product."

Our Story

My name is Chris Quinlan, co-founder and CEO of MarketWurks. I managed the Whistler Farmers Market for 8 years. When I began the job, I was faced with the spectre of several four inch binders of paper applications. This was for a market that maxed out at 50 vendors at the time. I knew there had to be a better way.

I set out to create a software platform to manage all aspects of running a market. This provided me the time and tools to double the size of the Whistler Farmers Market, building it into one of the most successful markets in British Columbia, before I ultimately stepped away to focus on MarketWurks full time. Since then it’s been our goal to bring MarketWurks to the broader community of markets across the country, the continent, and beyond.

Besides running MarketWorks, I co-founded the Canadian Farmers Markets Coalition as well as being a founding contributor to the World Farmers Markets Coalition and continue speaking at farmers market conferences and helping markets all over the world with digital transformation.

At MarketWurks, we’re helping you run your market with the best tools and resources available.
