NAFDMA's Annual Recognition Awards
NAFDMA Benefits
Click here to see award recipients!
Each year, NAFDMA recognizes a few people for outstanding accomplishments in the farm direct marketing industry. Peers make the nominations. Final selections are made by past recipients who themselves were nominated and chosen by the entire membership. Award winners can use this honor to gain local visibility and media attention for their farm or service. Each year the process motivates members to be their best, not because they need to win the award, just because they’re proud to be in the game.
As a member of NAFDMA, you are eligible to nominate other members for any of the association's recognition awards. You are also eligible to be nominated. 
NAFDMA's member recognition awards are designed to focus attention on the high standards upon which the vast majority of our membership pursue on their farms, businesses and careers. NAFDMA members do in fact truly represent the premier farm direct marketing enthusiasts around the world. Winning an award among this company is truly an outstanding accomplishment.
Interestingly, nearly every winner of a NAFDMA award finds themselves humbled in the company of their peers, any one of whom might just as likely have been the winner. But for those who do win, NAFDMA creates and distributes a press release in their local market community. No doubt, this is good for business.
