Member Benefits
We speak up — The Massachusetts Flower Growers’ Association (MFGA) is the voice of the industry within state government, constantly monitoring proposed changes in laws and regulations that affect us. We are there pre-empting what we can and seeking accommodation as much as possible.
We promote Floriculture as agriculture — Did you know that in terms of the dollar value of production, we are bigger than cranberries, vegetables, or any other agricultural product in the state? MFGA educates local and state officials and consumers about the importance of this industry on the state’s economy.
We offer networking opportunities — MFGA creates many opportunities for networking among Active and Allied Trade members, so they can learn from one another. We bring in expert speakers and offer workshops, but the best education comes from developing business relationships that are mutually beneficial among members. There is immeasurable value to those connections.
We connect you with information you need — We provide a centralized place right here on this website where buyers and sellers can connect for plants and specialty crops. We guide you to financial resources, grants, tax and legal advice, and much more. We are here to answer your questions. Take a few minutes a view the site.
We provide education — From getting “continuing education units” to recertify pesticide licenses to providing access to experts and trainers on growing floricultural crops, management, marketing and other aspects of your business, we offer training and education opportunities throughout the year for members.
