About the Event
Who Should Register:
If you’re a small or mid-sized farmer, this is your chance to have your voice heard in the national conversation about food, funding, and fairness. Advocates, community leaders, and policymakers who care about the future of farming and healthy communities should also join. This summit is designed to bring together those who grow our food with those who shape the systems around it—because we can’t build resilient communities without putting farmers at the center.

Why This Event Matters:
Farmers are facing shrinking margins, rising compliance costs, and programs that too often route funding through agencies and food banks instead of directly to the people producing the food. This event tackles that reality head-on.

What to Expect:
This is not a lecture—it’s an interactive summit. Expect to hear real stories from farmers, review policy updates that directly affect your livelihood, and have opportunities to contribute your perspective in open discussions. Most importantly, you’ll leave with concrete next steps: from signing on to an advocacy letter demanding fair compensation, to learning practical strategies for connecting your farm to stable markets.
