Led by MFMA's Director of Government Affairs Friendly Vang-Johnson, her youth program "Growing Our Future," will staff MFMA's day at the Minnesota State Fair's "The Common Table," located in the Ag Hort Building. On Friday, Aug. 22 from 8am - 8pm, the youth will connect fairgoers to Minnesota's local foodshed with coloring activities, hand out "I Heart Farmers' Markets" tattoos, and coordinate our MFMA gift basket giveaway.

The Minnesota Farmers’ Market Association (MFMA) provides services, programs, resources, and leadership that strengthen and promote farmers’ markets across Minnesota and Tribal Nations. We envision vibrant, profitable, and professionally managed markets that cultivate thriving local food communities, expand access to fresh and culturally relevant foods, support the success of local food producers, and create opportunities for all people, regardless of ethnicity, age, gender identity, or economic standing.
