Local Food Producer Workshops

Annually in February and March, we will be hosting regional Local Food Producer Workshops in collaboration with the Kansas Department of Agriculture and the Kansas Center for Sustainable Agriculture & Alternative Crops. These workshops are an opportunity for producers and small food businesses to learn more about selling their products through direct-to-consumers sales and other local market opportunities. Participants can connect with other producers and learn from their peers to improve their business success.
