February 28 | 9:45 - 11:45 a.m.

Are you a home gardener or small grower dreaming of selling your produce at the farmers market? Local markets need more producers — and your garden could be part of the solution! Join us for an inspiring and practical workshop where experienced farmers and market vendors share how to take the next step — from backyard plots to market-ready production.

You’ll learn about:

  • Planning for succession planting and extended harvests
  • Pricing, packaging, and marketing for local markets
  • Connecting with farmers markets, customers, and community programs
  • How scaling up supports your local economy and food system

Featured Speakers:

  • Amber Mohr, Fork Tail Farm and Director of Avoca Main Street (Avoca)
  • Mary Buchanan, Prairie Dome Farm (Harlan)
  • Emily Paulsen, Brun Ko Farm (Exira)
