Minnesota Farmers' Market Association 

MN Farmers Market Academy-Redwood Falls

  • 20-Jan-2016
  • 10:30 AM - 4:00 PM
  • Redwood Falls

Registration

  

The Academy will feature a session on the Minnesota Cottage Food Law that went into effect July 1, 2015.  This session, presented by Suzanne Driessen, food safety educator with the UME, will qualify for the training mandated by the law for anyone selling cottage foods and it will be good through 2018. MFMA will assist participants at each site to register that day with the MDA, in order to be compliant with the law.

Ryan Pesch, UME’s community economics educator, will send participants home with marketing and pricing strategies and spreadsheets to help vendors stay profitable in their business ventures, whether they are selling produce, eggs, jams, jellies, baked goods, or crafts. Seasoned and successful MFMA Board Directors will round out the workshops with proven tactics on growing and financing the markets themselves.

The Academy is free to MFMA members; $35 to non-members. MFMA is offering a “New Member Special” for this Academy: participants can become members at a 50% membership discount of $35 and then attend the Academy for free.
 

MFMA provides services, programs, and leadership that support and promote farmers' markets

across Minnesota and our Tribal Nations.

We envision a community of vibrant, profitable, and professionally managed Minnesota farmers’ markets that:

Cultivates, nourishes, and inspires a vibrant local foods community;

provides accessibility to all to local farm fresh foods;

allows local food producers to thrive and grow.
