From farmers and communities finding creative solutions to safely feed neighbors to undertaking difficult dialogue, we are all growing together and forging community.   Amid all the uncertainty and changes, we remain committed to taking action towards our vision of an ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially just food and farm system for healthy rural and urban communities and meaningful livelihoods for all Kansans.  

Over the course of 2021, we’d be delighted to have you share your organization or business with the farmers and ranchers, community leaders, local food advocates, and others interested in establishing a diversified farming system and vital local and regional food system feeding a forward-thinking urban/rural Kansas.
