Description

As the agency reported it.

As demand for organic produce remains strong and consumer interest in CSA and other direct markets continues to rise, farmers-especially those who have been historically underserved-need support in key areas in order to more fully participate in these markets, fortify their businesses, and build resiliency. However, many midwestern producers are spread out geographically and often lack access to the community and critical support services they require locally. The midwest vegetable grower support network aims to address these needs. A partnership that consists of TA and farmer partners and focuses on supporting organic production practices, this network will operate as a training andcommunity-building hub supporting diversified vegetable growers in 8 midwestern states: WI, MN, IA, MO, IL, MI, OH, and in. By leveraging partners' unique strengths, the network will deliver language accessible training and education in priority areas, including technical assistance, business planning and marketing support for CSA and other direct markets, and assistance with navigating certification and endorsement processes-all while creating a peer to peer community that growers want and value.
