Grab your bolos and boots, your favorite blue jeans or your dressiest dress. We don’t care what you wear. After all, the NAFDMA awards banquet has become sort of like the Golden Globes of farming. Take a little bit of pomp, a dash of humor and some outstanding farmers, and you’ve got yourself a party. And this year, get ready to kick up your heels. This ain’t your ordinary awards banquet. It’s part banquet, part fun night and all party.

Following cocktail hour, we’ll get things started with a Fiesta Fajita buffet. After dining in the company of a few hundred of your closest friends, you’ll sit in suspense as we unveil our award winners, including Farm Marketer of the Year, Outstanding Farmers’ Market Manager, and Outstanding Leadership. We’ll honor someone with his or her induction into the NAFDMA Hall of Fame. We’ll introduce the recipients of the Earl Tywater Scholarship.

Then, we’ll introduce you to the evening’s entertainment, a local country-swing band that will have you honky tonkin’ the night away.

Registration for the Banquet is now closed.
