2018 MFMA Spring Conference & Annual Meeting

Monticello Community Center, 505 Walnut Street, Monticello MN 55362

Wednesday, March 21, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Keynote Speaker: Sandy Anderson

Creating a Resilient Table

This Spring Conference, held on the Spring Solstice, we'll look at the 'soul' of our farmers' markets: the intersection of market, vendor and customer. We'll network with vendors, market managers and other leaders from across the state to learn how to make farmers' markets more sustainable and successful - by lifting up and empowering farmers and vendors.

Endnote Speaker: Michelle Wolf

Community Engagement for Market Success

Michelle, an award-winning market manager, vendor, educator and consultant will send us off with a message on how community engagement lifts up the market as a whole while building on the stories and efforts of each vendor.

In between these two smart and engaging experts we'll enjoy delicious local food, learn about special market programs like Market Bucks and Power of Produce, and refresh our memories on established rules and new legislation. Space is limited - register now!

Registration opens at 8 a.m., welcome remarks will begin promptly at 9 a.m.

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.
