The Market Table: Open Office Hours Evenings (18-Nov-2026)

Thu, 19 Nov 2026 01:00:00 GMT

1st & 3rd Monthly Wednesday Evenings

7 - 8pm Central

At Minnesota Farmers' Market Association (MFMA), we believe some of the best ideas, strongest connections, and most meaningful solutions begin with a simple conversation.

That's why we're excited to introduce The Market Table, the new name and expanded vision for our formerly known Grow Your Green – Profitability Office Hours!

While our previous office hours focused primarily on farm business profitability, The Market Table opens the conversation to all things farming and farmers' markets, creating a welcoming space where farmers, vendors, and market managers can find support, exchange ideas, and explore solutions together.
