The Regional Markets Program works to strengthen the economic viability of small and direct-marketing farms and ranches, and to increase the availability of healthy, locally-grown foods for all Washingtonians and support robust local food and agricultural economies. Our programs offer information, resources, training and technical assistance, and regulatory guidance to farms and local buyers of Washington agricultural products.
