Going T Market: Small Farms Conference provides best practices for starting and running successful farmers' markets

摘要

THE fourth annual Florida Small Farms and Alternative Enterprises Conference was held in Kissimmee, FL, in July. The event provides growers with an opportunity to network with a diverse group of educators, stakeholders, and allied industry to learn how to produce and market high-quality, safe, and affordable food and fiber to the public. In smaller grower circles, the farmers' market is a critical meeting point between the grower and the consumer. A workshop about starting and managing successful farmers' markets was well attended at the conference.
