Robbi Mixon, Executive Director of the Alaska Farmers Market Association and Amy Pettit, Executive Director of the Alaska Farmland Trust, spoke to KBBI's Kathleen Gustafson for this story about the upcoming Alaska Farmers Market Summit, Friday, April 9. 2021.
Robbi Mixon of Homer is the Executive Director of the Alaska Farmers Market Association. She says this year's program is packed with good information for farmers and for anyone who is interested in supporting locally grown food. One of the goals of the summit, Mixon says, is to connect markets across the state.
“So our markets have a varying degree of capacity. Some don't have paid staff. Some have temporary locations, so we just want to level the playing field by sharing resources, what works, what doesn't work," said Mixon.
