Farmers Markets

Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance recognizes that farmers' markets offer significant opportunities for success for small-scale farmers and local food producers. We monitor and react to regulations that hinder their efforts and promote networking opportunities for market managers to share best practices.

FARFA is here to help you make a difference.
