About this Event
“Farm Stops are year-round, every-day markets that support small-scale farmers and strengthen local and regional food systems. They do so most often by operating on a consignment model, which gives producers a fair price, flexibility with their time and products, and provides more direct connections with consumers.”
- Kathryn Barr, author of “How to Start a Farm Stop”
Join us for another exciting opportunity to learn about business operations and share best practices.
After the great success of the inaugural Farm Stop Conference in 2024, we are proud to present the second Farm Stop Conference in March of 2025!
With about one dozen farm stops now successfully up and running, and several more approaching launch, we believe now is the perfect time to gather, learn from one another, share best practices, and envision the role we’d like to see farm stops play in our local food ecosystems.
Whether you operate a farm stop already, or think that you may one day want to open one in your community, our goal is to provide content useful to you as you move forward. With that in mind, we are putting together an ambitious slate of local food thought leaders, and planning a full lineup of panels on everything from fundraising and marketing, to farm relations and merchandising, while also leaving plenty of time for networking.
