Local Meat Marketing Workshops

As demand grows for local meat, poultry, and eggs, Kansas producers have an opportunity to expand into new markets and grow their customer base.

The Kansas Local Meat Marketing Workshops will help small scale meat, poultry, and egg producers capitalize on this moment. Attend to learn key marketing strategies, best practices, and regulations from the experts, including fellow producers. KDA’s Weights and Measures program will also offer free sales scale certification with paid registration.

Three locations and registration options are:

February 3, 2023 – Wichita, KS

February 23, 2023 – Olathe, KS

March 3, 2023 – Parsons, KS

Cost: $20 per attendee, which includes a local foods lunch. Each workshop will cover the same content and will be held from 10AM-3PM.

The workshops are hosted by the Local Foods Transdisciplinary Team at Kansas State University. It is generously sponsored by the Kansas Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, Walton’s, Kansas Farmers Union, Frontier Farm Credit and the Kansas Rural Center.
