Attention Farmers Market Managers & Vendors,

The Michigan Farmers Market Association (MIFMA) is pleased to welcome Lisa Rose Starner, author of Grand Rapids Food: A Culinary Revolution (The History Press 2013) as the Keynote Speaker at this year's Michigan Farmers Market Conference.

Lisa Rose Starner, herbalist, forager, author and local food advocate will share her visions and hopes for the future of the good food movement. She will share stories of the rugged individuals in

her community who are tilling the soil, growing food and launching successful food businesses while powering community change.

Her fresh perspective on the local food movement will inspire and refresh those already working in the trenches as they change their own community — one garden, one backyard, one block, one store, one farmers market, one plate of food, cup of coffee and mug of beer at a time.

The Conference will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 4 & 5 at the Plant and Soil Science Building on the campus of Michigan State Universtiy in East Lansing, Michigan.

We look forward to seeing you there!
