MarketWurks

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.
