The Food Business Start-Up Summit, happening September 11–13, 2025, in Lawrence, Kansas, is not your typical conference — it's a hands-on, working retreat designed to move your business forward.

Apply as a Business Project Team with up to 2 of your key partners — whether they’re your funder, marketer, spouse, or farm manager — to tackle the real challenges and barriers your business is facing. You'll join a dynamic community of food and farm entrepreneurs from across Kansas and engage in practical problem-solving alongside seasoned Key Informants in areas like finance, operations, and more.
