Washington state group plans pair of Farmers Market Workshops

In 2018, the Washington State Farmers Market Association (WSFMA) will host two two-day Farmers Market Workshops; one of these events will be in Renton and one in Spokane. This is a new opportunity for WSFMA to offer more in-depth training for farmers’ market leaders on specific operational topics. There will also be time to network and socialize with fellow market staff and board. This workshop format will replace the WSFMA annual statewide conference this year, but WSFMA will host its annual conference in 2019 celebrating its 40th anniversary as an organization.

These training workshops will be an opportunity for market staff and board members to take dive into topics such as:

• market promotions and marketing
• data collection
• financial tracking
• board and staff development
• best practices for the industry

Cost

WSFMA Members receive three free registrations and $25 per day/attendee after that.
Non-members cost $50 per day/attendee.

Registration

Day 1 and Day 2 topics and speakers will be in similar in Renton and Spokane. Please note that you can attend one day in each location, such as Day 1 in Renton and Day 2 in Spokane, if that works best for your schedule. Select the days and location of tickets for each day and location.

This form can be used to register five members and four non-members. Please contact the WSFMA staff to register more people than that.
