About AFFPA

AFFPA is a voluntary membership, non-profit organization representing direct market growers. The Association is dedicated to supporting the production of farm direct market vegetable, berry and fruit crops, bedding plants, perennials, herbs, flowers, meats, poultry, eggs and other specialty items in Alberta. Most AFFPA members market directly to consumers via U-Pick farms, farm gate sales and/or through Farmers' Markets.

The AFFPA Board of Directors is comprised of seven producer members from across Alberta. Don and Joan Gregorwich administrate activities of the association.

AFFPA will continue province-wide promotions in 2010. Promotions of the association and members encourages customers to visit local farms, experience a taste of the country and purchase the best products in Alberta.

The membership deadline is January 31, 2010 to be included in the 2010 issue: "Come To Our Farms" guide. 40,000 copies of the guide are printed annually and distributed across the province and to AFFPA members.
