Want to Help Support the Conference Another Way?
Past Conference Sponsors

We invite you to join us in supporting the statewide Florida Small Farms and Alternative Enterprises Conference. This unique statewide small farms conference brings together nearly 800 producers, marketers, researchers, educators, policy makers, and allied industry representatives, all of whom are actively involved in Florida farming. Your participation as a conference sponsor will help bring cutting edge, research-based presentations and educational information to Florida’s small farmers.

By becoming a conference sponsor, you will:

• Raise your profile in the continually growing small farm community
• Enhance your prominence as a leader in supporting family farms
• Increase awareness of the value of your organization's products and services to clients
• Network with colleagues who make decisions in agriculture and natural resource management
• Apply innovative research findings to improve your business
• Cultivate partnerships to ensure the economic viability of family farms
• Support the attendance of small farmers by keeping the registration cost modest
• Earn the opportunity for the donation to be tax deductible as allowed by law

All conference sponsors will be recognized on the Small Farms website, in the printed program given to all participants at the conference, and in a slideshow shown at the conference. Our supporters will also be recognized in online announcements distributed monthly, so the sooner you sign up as a sponsor, the more coverage you will receive throughout the coming months! Thank you for supporting Florida’s small farms!
