The Alaska Farmers Market Association is participating in the 2024 Farmers Market Boot Camp for new (and returning) market managers, staff, and board members. This is a virtual training (via Zoom). General sessions will be held on two Tuesdays, March 19 and 26. In addition, each State Partner will offer a third, state-specific session to share local resources.
🎟️ Tickets are $75 for farmers markets affiliated with the WSFMA and our State Partners or $100 for general admittance (plus processing fees).
🎟️ Ticket sales for Boot Camp end on March 15.
🥕 General Sessions: March 19 and 26 from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm (Pacific)
The first two days of Boot Camp provide general farmers markets tools and training for anyone who has just been hired, is looking for a refresher, or is interested in updated information. We encourage new (and returning) board members to attend to learn more about farmers market operations, their role in sustaining a strong market organization, and building a great team.
🥕 Alaska State Specific Session
The WSFMA and each State Partner will host a third Boot Camp session dedicated to each state’s key agriculture, health, food access and other partners, programs, and resources for farmers markets. Alaska’s state session is on April 2nd from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm Alaska time and is open to everyone.
