Get Ready For The 2015 NAFDMA Convention

Posted by Lauren María Alexander|January 7, 2015

The 2015 North American Farmers’ Direct Marketing Association (NAFDMA) is quickly approaching. This year, the convention will be held Feb. 1-6 in Tennessee, in both Nashville and Knoxville, and will be com-prised of bus tours, educational sessions, work-shops, and a business exchange that will volley between both cities.

The convention brings together farm direct marketers and agritourism operators from all across North America for learning and networking.

Three days of the convention will be dedicated to NAFDMA’s bus tour farm visits, and will include trips to agritourism operations in Tennessee such as Lucky Ladd Farm in Eagleville, Granddaddy’s Farm in Estill Springs, and Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store in Sevierville.

The event will also include two days of educational sessions and workshops, drawing both peer speakers and professional speakers from outside the industry. Topics include farm retail, enterprise development, marketing, employees, business growth, management, and events on the farm.

The business exchange is a tradeshow featuring the latest products and services for farm retail and on-farm entertainment, and allows vendors the chance to meet with growers outside of the traditional booth format.
