Events at each market will be held throughout the 2023 market season, and contact information to learn more about each market and their activities can be found by searching by market name on the Find a Farmers Market Feature.
MIFMA first executed this food safety project in 2022, and you can learn more about the results from that project here. To learn more about MIFMA’s Food Safety materials for market managers, click here.
