“Marketing Strategies for New and Experienced Growers”

You know how to grow it well, but knowing where and how to sell the product of your farm can be tricky. How do you attract and keep customers, where do you advertise, what are your go to marketing strategies?

Join experienced growers, Tracy and Troy Heald, Country Blossom Farm; Jane Way, Ida Valley Farm; Becky Haffner, Haffner Family Farm; and Ron Branch, Berry Ridge Farm for a lively discussion on strategies to market your locally grown food. Whether you use social media, on-farm events, internet sales, or other marketing tactics, share your ideas and take some home with you.

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;
Ensures these opportunities are available to everyone regardless of ethnicity, age, gender identity, or economic standing.
