If you hadn’t heard, we received some exciting news at the end of 2024. The Kansas Health Foundation awarded us funding to create a Shop Kansas Farms Harvest Hub in Sedgwick County!
The Harvest Hub is a community-driven initiative designed to create economic opportunities for local farms, ranches and growers. Through a digital platform, the Hub connects the key elements of a sustainable food system — production, processing and distribution — making it easier for consumers at local, regional and national levels to purchase fresh, local food.
Building on the success of our second year developing the Border Queen Harvest Hub in Sumner County, we’re eager to apply those lessons and start this exciting work in Sedgwick County. The area already boasts a thriving local food community, and our goal is to enhance this momentum by fostering new and existing connections between consumers and growers.
We’re seeking a passionate advocate for agriculture and local food to help lead this initiative in Sedgwick County. The right person will be a self-starter who loves people and building connections with others. The job is full-time and is a great opportunity to help us build this system from the ground up. It is a remote position.
