The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify and select exhibitors for the Annual MA Agricultural Resource Fair, scheduled for March 5, 2027, with a reserved snow date of March 12, 2026. This RFI is for informational and interest purposes only; it is not a solicitation for bids, will not result in a funded contract award, and provides no compensation to respondents. Interested parties must submit their information via the provided form link by December 18, 2026. To be considered, organizations must meet specific objectives, such as holding non-profit status with at least one year of experience, providing resource information on technical assistance or grant writing, or offering program opportunities to Indigenous communities, Environmental Justice communities, and historically underserved farmers. Selected exhibitors must provide impactful and relevant information on topics like climate change, food safety, and agricultural employment. Participants may be required to conduct panel presentations and must enter into a license agreement with the agency. Additionally, exhibitors must coordinate with the Environmental Justice Language Access Program to ensure accessibility and interpretation services are available and certify that they are in good standing with all Massachusetts laws and regulations.
