Alberta Farmers Market Association

The Alberta Farmers’ Market Association (AFMA), founded in 1994 and based in Edmonton, Alberta, is a non-profit society dedicated to supporting local food systems. It helps farmers by promoting “make it, bake it, grow it” principles, ensuring that vendors sell products they’ve produced themselves at approved Alberta farmers’ markets 1. AFMA provides advocacy, education, and marketing support to farmers and vendors, helping them build sustainable, community-based businesses. Through partnerships, innovation, and leadership development, the association strengthens Alberta’s vibrant network of farmers’ markets.
