Every winter, Cultivate KC convenes local and regional farmers and food activists to connect, converse, and contribute ideas regarding issues affecting our city’s urban farming community.
This year, the planning team had many in-depth conversations about what the urban farming community might need from the Annual Farmers & Friends Meeting in 2026. These conversations always seemed to circle back to the theme of Growing in Community. To us, this means building strong neighborhood, city, and bi-state relationships. It means taking care of one another and seeing one another as people worthy of support. It also means having hard conversations and acknowledging the sometimes harsh reality that farming is difficult, time-consuming, often joyous, and always necessary work.
So join us on February 7th for fellowship, knowledge-building, and, as always, lots and lots of pie!
