It is time to sign up for the annual Farm to Table Buyers Guide!

The annual Farm to Table Buying Guide supports the marketing of a wide array of local farm products in our area. It also promotes a sense that we have a community of farmers that have a broad variety of products to sell to local citizens.

The farm guide provides advertising not only for local farms but also for our farmers markets and businesses and restaurants in our region that source products from local farms. About 5,000 copies of the Farm to Table Guide will be distributed at strategic locations around the area. Producers may also have bundles of 2016 guides to distribute.

If you are interested in signing up or receiving more information please email us at [email protected]
