2010 MAINE FARMERS' MARKET CONVENTION
January 29-30, 2010
The 2nd Annual Maine Farmers' Market Convention took place at the Hutchinson Center in Belfast, Maine on January 29 and 30.
One of the most popular workshops was New Farmers' Market Regulations with Ned Porter, Deputy Commissioner for the Maine Department of Agriculture, and Rep. Wendy Pieh, who are working with the legislature on revision of the definition of farmers' markets. Feedback from the group will go back to Augusta for consideration in the crafting of that legislation.
Our dynamic speakers included Enid Wonnacott, Dick Dyer, Cheryl Wixson, Shannon Haines, John Piotti and others from all over the state of Maine. Workshop topics included Connecting with Community, Market Menu Creation, Individual Marketing Material Review, Marketing Strategies, Seasonal Eating and more.
Photos, speaker handouts and participant comments will be posted soon. Please check back in a few days.
