March Market Madness Workshop

It’s almost market season which means you’re thinking about your farmer’s market setup! Maybe you’re not getting the lines you see at other stands and want marketing/branding advice. This could also be your first year or so at a market and you’re curious about pricing, supplies, and what to expect. Tackle these topics and more at our FREE March Market Madness on March 14th!

Presented by NCTFA, this interactive workshop is a chance to get real time feedback and ideas for your market setup. You’ll walk away with tools and tips to maximize your market week after week. We are inviting attendees to bring their supplies and set up as they normally would at the farmers market, find areas of improvement and see what’s working for fellow farmers!

Cost: Free (No food or drink provided but plenty of spots nearby to quench your thirst or appetite!)
