Ask around different publications, and you'll get a variety of answers as to how you should properly punctuate something like "farmers market." Apostrophe before the s? After? Let's have anarchy and go without it? If you're not following a style guide that's telling you what to do, here's a good way to decide: In some cases, the farmers actually own the market, in which case, the word is possessive and you'd use an apostrophe (location would depend on whether it's one or multiple farmers). In most cases, however, the farmers just rent stalls. In that case, farmers serves more as an adjective, and you can leave it alone.
Another example is "writers strike." Do the writers own the strike? In most cases, no, so you can leave it unpunctuated.
By the way, I just found out there's a blog called "The Land of the Misplaced Apostrophe's." (Cringe!) I got super excited thinking there was another blogger out there with whom I could bond, but I then I found out it's actually just someone ranting about everything from Glee to drag queens to graduation ceremonies. Oh well ...
