Connecting
Farmers-Volunteers-Workers-Community Members
Our listserv for Kansas City area food producers encourages and supports:
-
Peer-to-Peer
information sharing
-
Bulk purchases of
supplies, seeds, etc.
-
Other
communications to help local growers be more effective and informed.
For example, a
grower could post a question to other growers “Do any of you have suggestions
for managing cucumber beetles on summer squash?” or “I’m interested in buying
a 50 gallon drum of horticultural vinegar. Would anyone like to split this
order with me?” or “I have huge quantities of winter squash that I won’t be
able to sell at my farmers’ markets. Does anyone have any ideas on where I
could sell them?"
To sign up for the listserv: Email:
growers@ksu.edu with the following information:
Your name
The name of your
farm
Address
City
State
Zip
Email address
Type of operation (for example, I grow tree fruits and vegetables)
Interested farm workers, volunteers and community members can email
growers@ksu.edu if you would like to have something sent to the listserv
of local growers. For example, this could be used if:
-
You have the month of August off from work and want to spend it volunteering on a local farm,
or
-
You are looking for land to rent to start your
own farming operation, or
-
You have land available for rent to an organic
grower, or
-
You are looking for paid work on a local farm.
The Program Staff will determine what emails will
be forwarded onto the listserv.
