Morphology
The meaning 'a market where farmers sell their produce' is directly derivable from combining 'farmer' (person who works a farm) with 'market' (a place to sell goods); it's a straightforward noun–noun compound/attributive construction specifying the type of market. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun farmers market comes from the simple image of farmers bringing fruits and vegetables to a market in town to sell directly to people. So, it means 'a market where farmers sell their produce directly to consumers'.
