ABOUT KSCGA

Kansas Specialty Crop Growers Association is a 501(c)(5) organization dedicated to supporting specialty crops—and specialty crop growers—across the state of Kansas. Our mission is to provide support, networking, and effective tools to help build our growers’ visions into sustaining production and sales operations and expand access to locally grown foods in our communities.

With a membership and active engagement of more than 250 growers and markets across the state—from large, established growers to small-scale growers just starting out—KSCGA has become the source for information, ideas, support, and building connections and opportunities in our industry.

New and renewing members have access to member discounts with some of our business supporters, full access (with direct contact info) to KSCGA Grower/Market Directory, and more. More on KSCGA membership at: www.kscga.org/membership.

KSCGA GROWER/MARKET DIRECTORY—REVISED AND ENHANCED

The revised version of the KSCGA Grower/Market Directory is up and running. With input from growers across the state, the new graphically enhanced version has expanded search capacity to look for other growers, market venues and other sales points for your products—and for markets and sales/distribution points to find growers to supply the increasing demand for regionally grown food products.

Check out the new directory map—and make sure to get your operations on the map and/or update information showing on the map for your operations.: (web link to access map, more info, and grower/market profile form coming).

KSCGA is partnering with K-State Extension and Growing Growers in a grant-funded effort to support new growers across Kansas and western Missouri. New growers (10 years or less growing experience) can be eligible for reimbursement stipends of now up to $500 for travel, registration, and other costs for participation in networking and training experiences—from formal workshops and training activities, farm tours, or just getting out and connecting with other growers in your area.
