The Easton Market District Advisory Council (EMDAC) serves as an advisory council for the Easton Market District (EMD) that includes the Easton Farmers’ Market (EFM), the West Ward Market, and the Easton Public Market (EPM). EFM, WWM and EPM are subsidiaries of the Greater Easton Development Partnership (GEDP), a 501c3 registered non-profit.

Purpose of the EMDAC is to:

• Support market management and provide oversight in the operations of the EMD.
• Serve as advisors in interpreting and implementing EFM & WWM By-Laws
