About the 2026 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.

Best of all, there’s no cost to participate — but space is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so early registration is encouraged.
