You’re invited to attend Missouri Local Farm & Food Advocacy Day on February 24th at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City.This day brings together farmers, local food businesses, and community partners from across the state to raise our collective voice for policies that strengthen local economies, support Missouri farmers, and build healthy, resilient communities.
Whether you’re a grower, business owner, advocate, or simply someone who believes in the power of local food, your participation matters.
This is a free event, but filling out the form will help us gauge interest, coordinate logistics, and ensure your priorities are represented as we plan this year’s Advocacy Day.
Thank you for being part of this movement for a stronger, more connected local food system!
