Network with other northwest Kansas food buyers and producers at this FREE informational gathering sponsored by the Western Prairie Food, Farm and Community Alliance (or Food Policy Council). This meeting is perfect for northwest Kansas growers and food producers who are interested in selling their fruits, vegetables, fresh-baked goods or meat to local restaurants, hospitals, senior centers, VFW or other entity.
