The Michigan Farmers Market Association (MIFMA) and Taste the Local Difference (TLD) have a long history of supporting the local food community in Michigan. Since 2017, the organizations began partnering to exchange service benefits, providing even more support to the state’s local farms and farmers markets. Participating members/partners of either organization now receive reduced rates on services from the other.  

The specifics of this exchange of benefits is detailed as follows:

• MIFMA members will now receive a 15% discount on Taste the Local Difference Marketing Products & Services, including listings in the Guide to Local Food and individual content promotion within TLD’s consumer focused e-newsletter.

• TLD Partners will receive discounted MIFMA member rates for educational sessions, workshops, and their annual Michigan Farmers Market Conference.

​
This exchange will allow more Michigan farms and farmers markets to benefit from the expertise and support of these two organizations. MIFMA and TLD are thrilled to develop a more collaborative partnership and look forward to the impact it will generate.
