Vermont Farmers Market Conference 2025

The 2025 Vermont Farmers Market Conference is coming up on Monday, March 17th!

This year we will be gathering at the Red School House on the Randolph campus of Vermont State University in Randolph Center. Please join us for a day of learning and networking with other farmers market leaders!

Farmers markets are integral to our thriving local food system, and serve as important small business incubators. This annual conference brings together market managers, organizers, vendors, and supporters from across the state for a full day of education, resource-sharing, and networking. The conference offers resources and information from service providers, state agencies, and fellow market organizers.  

Visit www.nofavt.org/events/annual-nofa-vt-events/farmers-market-conference for workshop and conference details.

For questions, please contact Andrew Graham via email or call (802) 419-0029.

This conference is sponsored by a USDA AMS Farmers Market Promotion Program grant and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, & Markets.

*NOFA-VT offers free registration for our events to anyone who identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a Person Of Color (BIPOC) in an effort to actively work toward dismantling systems of racism that have historically disadvantaged these communities—particularly in agriculture and land access—and continue to do so today.
