Welcome
Welcome to the home page of Pacific Northwest Direct Farm Marketing Association!
We’re a nonprofit organization made up of a group farmers who sell their produce, and wares, direct to the consumer, and wholesale to each other. This naturally works out in the end to the retail customer’s benefit. Our farming participants span the northwest, from British Columbia,Canada to Washington and Oregon, and span farming practices from pumpkin patches to flower fields to fresh local produce, jams, jellies, crafts and more. Some are “tailgaters” at open air Saturday markets, some have full scale farming operations, complete with tours and educational programs for the general public. Some have set hours and some are self service stops. No matter how large, how small, how many bees in the garden or inches in the rain barrel, we’ve all joined together to cut the middle man out of getting the best, freshest goods to the people, at the best prices, while making sustainable livings for ourselves as well. We learn from each other, we teach each other, and we travel together. This year, Pacific Northwest Direct Farm Marketing Association's annual meeting and tour is slated for March 11 through 13, 2010, and will take place in Vancouver B.C.. To find out more, to join us or to sign up, please follow the “Read More About the Tour” link to your right.
