Guided by the Board of Directors, the YKFM's daily summer operations are run by a Market Manager. The Market Manager is a dedicated individual who responds to both vendor and patron needs. This individual takes the vision of the Board and brings it to life each year ensuring a smooth and vibrant market for all involved.

The Market Manager for the 2026 season is Dwayne Wohlgemuth, who has lived in Yellowknife since 2006 and is a dedicated gardener, northern adventurer, and Canadian Ranger. He was raised with a bunch of cows, horses, pigs and chickens on a farm in northwestern Alberta where his first job was catching broiler chickens at barns in the area. He serves on the board of SHIFT NWT and has previously served on the boards of both Ecology North and the Yellowknife Community Garden Collective and played a significant role in the construction of the Old Town Community Garden and the Weledeh School Community Garden.
