Mark your calendars for an important event in the South Dakota agricultural community! The South Dakota Farmers Market Coalition, a sub-chapter of the South Dakota Specialty Producers Association (SDSPA), has scheduled its next meeting for Wednesday, January 17th, at 9 am CST/8 MST.
This session is open to all interested parties across South Dakota, including non-members, making it a unique opportunity to engage with the state’s vibrant farmers market community.
The meeting will focus on preparing for the upcoming market season and will delve into the various benefits and resources available to members of the coalition. The coalition, which includes market managers, board members, and vendors, aims to enhance the efficiency and success of farmers markets throughout the state.
The group, supported by the SDFMC leadership, SDSU Extension, and SDSPA, typically meets on the third Wednesday of each month, fostering regular interaction and collaboration among its members.
For those interested in attending the meeting, an Email to SDSPA is required to receive the meeting link. This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to be more involved in the local agriculture scene and for existing market participants to exchange ideas and strategies for the upcoming season.
Join the Farmers Market Coalition at a nominal $15/year fee, which grants access to resources from the National Farmers Market Coalition. This membership is a valuable investment for those seeking to enhance their engagement and knowledge in agribusiness, in addition to the general SDSPA membership.
This meeting represents an essential gathering for those involved in South Dakota's agriculture sector, offering a platform for learning, networking, and growth.
