Please join us for a day of learning and networking with other farmers market leaders!

Farmers markets are integral to our thriving local food system, and serve as important small business incubators. This annual conference brings together market managers, organizers, vendors, and supporters from across the state for a full day of education, resource-sharing, and networking. The conference offers resources and information from service providers, state agencies, and fellow market organizers.  

We will enjoy a full day of programming on March 11th followed by a casual gathering afterwards with drinks and snacks. Conference activities will take place from 9:30 - 4:30.

The Conference will feature workshops on:

  • Community Partnerships
  • SNAP Authorization and Compliance
  • Regional Market Collaboration Networks
  • Market Governance

 

And plenty of discussion/networking time!
