Come Make Connections

Farm-to-Table Trade Meetings connect local farmers with local food buyers.  By bringing together farmers, processors, distributors, retailers and others along the value chain, we develop market efficiencies and generate new sales. Several of our Trade Meetings have created in excess of $500,000 in immediate and projected sales on behalf of producers.

"The Farm-to-Table Trade Meeting in Mt. Vernon was a powerful catalyst for sales and several community initiatives, including the launch of the Skagit WholeSale Market. Whether you are a farmer, distributor, processor, institutional buyer, or retailer, I highly recommend the day as a way to not only share ideas and create partnerships, but increase your financial stake in our regional food system."
-Lucy Norris, Project Manager, Puget Sound Food Network (PSFN), a project of Northwest Agriculture Business Center
