NMFMA Membership

The New Mexico Farmers' Marketing Association (NMFMA) is a state network of farmers' markets, farmers and other invested parties working to bring locally produced food directly to communities across the state of New Mexico.

As a member of the NMFMA, you'll gain access to exclusive funding opportunities and become part of a group of passionate, like-minded individuals and organizations as we share ideas to educate the public about local agriculture and increase connections between farmers/ranchers and their communities. We work together to develop programs that increase food access at farmers' markets and farm stands, bring resources to New Mexico communities that support the local food economy and increase awareness of the importance of agriculture to healthy communities.
