WSFMA Policy Priorities
-
Support efforts to retain Farm Bill programs and funding that helps keep farmers on their land, strengthens farmers markets and direct marketing opportunities, and expand opportunities for everyone to buy healthy, fresh food direct from farmers.
WSFMA will work with our national partners, the Farmers Market Coalition and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition to bring their policy positions and advocacy strategies to Washington State.
-
Ensure that Washington’s farmers markets have policy support at all levels.
Each year, the WSFMA works with member markets and partners to select policy priorities for the state’s legislative session that support the needs of direct marketing farmers, farmers market organizers and farmers market shoppers.
