Hello Alaskan Farmers Market
Managers, Vendors, & Supporters! 

We're seeing markets opening up, and preparing to do so, around the state! Our markets will look certainly look different this year, but one thing will remain the same: we're committed to selling Alaska Grown products direct to customers, now and always.

Our hardworking intern Meghan has been busy updating our website with your market listings.  If you haven't done so, please complete the survey no later than June 1st, as we'll do one more round of additions then. 

This week our Farmers Market Community Chat will discuss touchless payment options for markets and market stands - details below! Can't make it? It will be recorded and available on our website.

We have some great resources for you below- Alaska Farmland graphics for market signage and outreach, Day 1 conference session recordings, updated DEC farmers market guidelines, and more. Keep us updated with stories as you open or visit your local farmers markets.

Thursdays, 3 PM – 5 PM, April -June 30, 2020

Join us for our AFMA Farmers Market Chat! Topic TBD, but it will be interesting, interactive, and make you feel just a tad better about your day!

May 14th Edition: Touchless Payment Options for Markets & Farmstands
 You don't have to handle cash if you don't want to! This week find out the pros and cons of using different forms of touchless payment option. There are ways to transfer money directly from credit cards, bank accounts, or digital wallets. We will have a panel of folks who have used a variety of different methods, so come ready to ask questions from people who have experience getting cash at fairs and onsite sales.
