Networks similar to Open Air strive to create forums and spaces where people with the shared interest of farmers’ markets are able to come together and exchange ideas. Each year, Maine Federation of Farmers’ Market (MFFM) holds an annual conference, inviting inspiring and influential people to come educate those involved in the federation. University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor and member of Open Air Market Network, Alfonso Morales, was one of the many attendees of the conference. While there, Morales gave a presentation titled, “Resurgent Farmers’ Markets: Impacts Around the US and Prospects for Maine” to over 125 guests. Here are some photo’s from Alfonso’s trip this past weekend:
