Join us at the Tilth Alliance Conference for a focused series of sessions designed to help organic and local producers expand into new markets. This programming brings together practical education and direct networking opportunities to support farmers at every stage of market development.
Farm to School Track
Build foundational knowledge of selling to K–12 institutions, including how school procurement works, how to position your products, and how to connect with buyers. Sessions include hands-on training, real-world success stories, and opportunities to network directly with school food purchasers.
Marketing Your Organic Farm Track
Strengthen your business and marketing approach by learning how to identify the right market channels, understand buyer expectations, and build lasting customer relationships that support long-term growth.
The event concludes with the “Growing Markets for Organic & Local Food” Mixer, where farmers connect directly with buyers, chefs, and food system partners to explore sourcing needs, share insights, and build relationships that open new market opportunities.
