Farmers Markets Partners and Hemp at the Market
August 16, noon-1:00 pm
Join us for this presentation of these two special ILFMA guests.
Kellie Schmidt, Illinois Green Industry, GardenIllinois
Farmers market customers are often gardeners. They are hungry for knowledge about how to be successful plant parents, whether with houseplants, garden veggies, or a newly redesigned home landscape. Let’s turn these new gardeners into lifelong stewards of our environment! Now is a great time to build partnerships to provide quality educational content to help people have confidence about what they are planting and caring for it. Learn about the opportunities available with GardenIllinois.com; you’ll find content that is relevant and easy to share.
Yolanda ImOberstag, Banner Harvest
Join ILFMA to discuss with Banner Harvest, a Peoria area hemp grower, for an overview of selling CBD products at farmers markets. What’s the difference between cannabis, CBD, THC, and hemp? What are the state-level rules about which products can be sold at farmers markets? What should farmers market managers look for when adding a CBD vendor to their markets?
