About Alberta Farm Fresh Producers Association
Founded in 1985, the Alberta Farm Fresh Producers Association (AFFPA) emerged from a need to give a unified voice to Alberta's direct-marketing farms and agritourism destinations. Based in Bonnyville, Canada, this grassroots organization was built by producers who recognized that small-scale, diversified agriculture required dedicated advocacy and coordinated promotion. Over the decades, AFFPA has evolved into a specialized communications and public relations body that serves as the primary bridge between Alberta's farm-direct sector and the broader public, government, and tourism industry.
