WE NEED YOU! 

Help make our 2017 Annual WSFMA Conference the best yet! Become a Sponsor! Join our Trade Show!

Early morning Wenatchee Market 2007

The WSFMA Annual Conference is the only statewide event in Washington that brings together farmers, market organizers, policymakers, government agencies, nonprofits and community organizations to focus on the vital role farmers markets play in connecting us all through shared values – healthy eating, farmland preservation, vibrant communities, and economic development.

This conference provides exclusive access to a community whose influence and purchasing power has increased with the exponential growth of farmers markets in Washington State and nationwide. You’ll have an extraordinary opportunity to showcase your products and services to this broad customer base that historically includes markets and community partners from across the Western States and British Columbia.

In 2016, thanks to our generous sponsors and exhibitors, we served a record high of 250 attendees while maintaining a high-quality learning environment and keeping registration cost affordable for participants. With your help, we will surpass that number in 2017.
