Annual Meeting 2/22/14
Mark your calendars – the 2014 OFMA Annual Meeting will take place Saturday, February 22, 8:00am to 5:00pm at OSU's La Sells Stewart Center in Corvallis. For the first time, OFMA is incorporating the meeting into OSU's Small Farms Conference. We encourage you to attend this once-a-year opportunity to network with other markets, learn best practices, and share your own experiences with your peers.
Registration opens Friday, December 20th – we will email you instructions shortly afterward. Here is a sneak peek of OFMA's market manager track:
- Advanced Farmers Markets: New Ideas for a New Era
- Farmers Market Integrity: Preserving and Growing Trust

As an Annual Meeting and Small Farms Conference attendee, you will also be able to attend any of the other top-notch conference sessions, including the keynote presentation with farmer, writer and photographer Michael Ableman of Foxglove Farm. OFMA members receive the discounted price of $25 for the full day conference and lunch.
