We helped share best practices and create a community of farm stop operators again in 2026!

We had a full slate of exciting programming planned for this year’s conference! Check out the exciting presentations and workshops scheduled here.

“Farm Stops are year-round, every-day markets that support small-scale farmers and strengthen local and regional food systems. They do so most often by operating on a consignment model, which gives producers a fair price, flexibility with their time and products, and provides more direct connections with consumers.”

- Kathryn Barr, author of “How to Start a Farm Stop”

  • “We have been amazed at how well the farm stop model has worked in our community, and believe this model can turbocharge any community that has an existing farmers market.”

    - Bill Brinkerhoff, Argus Farm Stop

  • "[Farm stops] move a lot of produce and they really help farmers connect with consumers and they provide a valuable service."

    -Marc Mathy, Hindsight Farm

  • "The farm stop model creates a stable foothold for local farmers and community members to support a strong, interconnected, and impactful food system."

    -Rosie Estes, Argus Farm Stop

  • “Let’s reimagine grocery stores around the people they serve—rooted in what farmers need and what local communities want. Across Michigan and the country, farm stops and other locally grounded models are showing us what’s possible: a more community-driven food economy where everyone thrives.”

    - Kate Krauss, CEO of the Fair Food Network
