** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THIS PROJECT BUILDS ON THE REGIONAL BEGINNING FARMER RANCHER PROGRAM WE JUST COMPLETED- THE BEGINNING FARMER WHOLESALE PROJECT (PD KNIXON 2018-70017-28628). WE HAVE EXPANDED THE COLLABORATION TO INCLUDE TWO MORE ORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH FARMERS IN THE REGION (SPRINGFIELD COMMUNITY GARDENS NOT LISTED ABOVE). WE ARE BROADENING THE WORK TO INCLUDE ALL BEGINNING FARMERS IN THE REGION, NOT JUST THOSE IN A POSITION TO SALE-UP FOR WHOLESALE. WE ARE INCREASING THE IMPACT OF OUR RURAL-URBAN PARTNERSHIPS TO ENHANCE THE FOOD SUPPLY AND HELP BEGINNING FARMERS HAVE EXCELLENT ACCESS TO MARKETS. WE ARE EXPANDING THE IMPACT OF OUR FOOD SYSTEM WORK BY BROADENING THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA FURTHER INTO KANSAS AND MISSOURI AND CONNECTING FARMERS WITH THE KANSAS CITY SUPPLY CHAIN. WE WILL BE WORKING A MINIMUM OF 150 BEGINNING FARMERS ACROSS THE REGION TO ENSURE THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. OFFERING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITES, PEER TO PEER CONNECTION, AND MENTORSHIP. THE COLLABORATIVE APPROACH OF MORE THAN EIGHT ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TOGETHER REGIONALLY WILL HELP US RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF OUR BEGINNING FARMERS IN A DYNAMIC WAY AND INCREASE THE STABILITY OF THE NETWORK THAT HELPS BEGINNING FARMERS GROW AND SUCCEED IN REGIONAL MARKETS.

THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AND TRAINING TO BEGINNING GROWERS AS THEY BEGIN TO NAVIGATE NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITIES. THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE FARMERS WITH ON-FARM TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND ONGOING MENTORSHIP FROM ESTABLISHED GROWERS; CROP PLANNING, BUSINESS AND MARKETING SKILLS FROM REGIONAL EXPERTS ALL WHILE PROVIDING CONNECTIONS TO WHOLESALE OPPORTUNITIES. THE DEMAND FOR LOCAL IS INCREASING: NEARLY FIFTEEN MILLION PEOPLE LIVE WITHIN 250 MILES OF KANSAS CITY AND OUR BEGINNING FARMERS WANT TO REACH THIS MARKET. SELLING AT FARMERS MARKETS AND THROUGH CSA DEMAND DIFFERENT SKILLS THAN THE WHOLESALE MARKET REQUIRES. TO BRIDGE THIS SKILL GAP, WE'LL CONDUCT THIRTEEN WORKSHOPS PROVIDING AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF WHOLESALE MARKETS, CROP PLANNING BY PLANT FAMILY, SEASON EXTENSION, MARKETING, BUSINESS AND TRANSITION PLANNING. A 'DEMYSTIFYING WHOLESALE MARKETS' GUIDEBOOK WILL PROVIDE SCRIPTS, SAMPLE RECORDKEEPING MATERIALS, INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN, RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND BRANDING SKILLS TO OUR FARMERS. ACTIVITIES WILL BE GUIDED BY AN ADVISORY BOARD OF NEW AND ESTABLISHED GROWERS, BUYERS, NON-PROFIT AND UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL TO DIRECT ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES TO BE MOST RESPONSIVE TO OPPORTUNITIES. WHOLESALE MARKET DEVELOPMENT WILL CO-EMERGE AS STAFF WORKS TO GROW NEW BUYERS THROUGH EDUCATION AND PROMOTION. FINALLY, THE PROJECT TIES ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE GIS MAP THAT INCLUDES FARMS, MARKET OPPORTUNTIES, FOOD RESCUE AND AGRICULTURE INPUTS COMPAINIES CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE MAP OF THE FOODSHED.
