The Maine Agricultural Trades Show is the state’s premier networking event for farmers, food producers, vendors, and service providers. For a complete schedule of all events and resources there, view the complete schedule on the Maine DACF website. There are three different ways you can connect with us there:
1. MFFM Annual Meeting
Thursday, January 16th
Join MFFM Staff & Board Members, along with farmers’ market organizers, vendors, and employees from across Maine, for MFFM’s 2025 Annual Meeting. Learn about our food access programming and farmers’ market sales impact, how we support market vendors, organizers, and farm stands, and projects we’re working on in collaboration with other organizational partners. The meeting will be immediately followed from 10-11AM by a Labor-Movement talk with Cynthia Flores geared specifically for market vendors. From 11-1, we’ll have a selection of our ever-popular roundtables. Open to all in the farmers’ market community with snacks provided.
Tickets are a sliding scale $0 to $20. All are welcome. Please register in advance so we know who’s coming! Same day, in-person registrations are welcome.
2. On the Floor
MFFM staff will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at our booth on the Trades Show floor. Come say hi and learn about how we can help farmers’ market organizers, vendors and prospective vendors, and even shoppers! We’ll have lots of information about our voucher programs as well as upcoming educational events.
3. After Hours!
Brickyard Hollow, a cozy brewery with great pizza, is generously hosting us for a happy hour Tuesday evening, January 14th! Located just one mile from the Civic Center, we’ll be there from 5pm onward. Brickyard Hollow will donate a percentage of the evening’s sales to supporting our programs, so come hungry!
