Pocket Markets:
http://www.foodroots.ca/pmtoolkit_s1.htm
Basically, you can set up a little store inside a bigger space, inside a community building or any other amenable place, to sell local products. In other words, it doesn't have to be a formal retail space, but can be a selling space that is set up and operational for only certain hours of the day or certain days of the week or month. It'd be like having a farmer's market table setup that sells local products in the lobby of the Justice Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays, for instance.
