About the 2027 Farmers Market Expo
Why Exhibit at the Farmers Market Expo?

This is a unique, high-impact opportunity to showcase your products directly to the people who decide which foods go on school menus across Florida.

School nutrition directors, food service buyers, educators, and Farm to School advocates will be in attendance — all ready to discover new vendors and build relationships with local producers.

You’ll make connections, share your story, and help shape the future of school food programs across the state.

There’s no fee to participate, but space is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to apply early.

Your Exhibit Space

Each exhibitor will be provided with an 8’x8′ booth space, complete with a 6-foot table and two chairs, giving you space to showcase your products, share educational materials, and create an inviting display that captures attendees’ attention.

Whether you’re offering fresh produce, packaged goods, or educational resources, this is your chance to connect with a highly targeted audience that values local sourcing, nutrition, and education.

We’re excited to help you make meaningful connections to grow your business and your impact in Florida’s Farm to School movement!
