Announcing the 2007 Farmers Market Alliance of
Western Pennsylvania Annual Workshop:

Purple Cows and Your Farmers Market

We are so happy to report that the 2007 Farmers Market Alliance Workshop went off without a hitch! We enjoying seeing market representatives and vendors from all over Western Pennsylvania – and two people came all the way from Toledo, Ohio!

We hope to see even more of you at the Workshop next year. Look for updates here on the website in late winter on the theme of next year’s event and get the jump on signing up for what will again be an informative, exciting workshop.
