Farmer and Producer Information and Resource Evening

Calling all farmers, producers, and value-added businesses in Southwest Missouri!

Join us for a Farmer & Producer Information Session hosted in collaboration with Roots and Harvest Community, Ash Grove Farmers Market, and Harvick Farms. Through this evening you will learn how to connect to multiple market channels and business resources that help move local food through area Farmers Markets, Farm Stops, CSA, Farm to School, Institutional Sales, and Food as Medicine programs. This is open to any size farmer, beginner and experienced market growers, and value added food producers and specialty crop producers. We will also have information on artisan and young entrepreneur opportunities. We have lots of information on how to help you plan for a successful and profitable 2026!
