Due to speaker scheduling conflicts, MIFMA has made the decision to postpone our Envisioning Equity at the Farmers Market session of the 2022 Michigan Farmers Market Conference. We are working with our speakers at this time to determine a date in April to hold this session. All conference attendees will automatically be registered for this session and will receive the session recording. This session will also be made available to the public to ensure equitable access to this information.
FEEDBACK REQUESTED:
If you have questions or topic suggestions you’d like to hear our panel answer, we invite you to submit them here.
