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. 2024 Locations:
