Shop Kansas Farms

Are you passionate about building stronger local food systems?

Shop Kansas Farms is seeking a dynamic food-systems consultant to help us manage and grow the Sedgwick County Harvest Hub. This project will connect local growers, processors, and distributors in Sedgwick County.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of agriculture, community development and supply chain innovation, helping ensure more Kansas-grown food reaches Kansas families.

We're seeking an experienced video production or marketing firm to create a short documentary-style video that highlights our newest Harvest Hub in Sedgwick County. 

The video will showcase the local food system and introduce area growers and processors in Sedgwick County.

The project will include filming on-site interviews, capturing the farm-to-table process and producing content optimized for web and social media platforms.

For years, Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB) has had a presence at the Kansas State Fair. We have a popular booth space in the Pride of Kansas building. 

The Douglas County Market of Farms event was an incredible success as more than 600 people arrived at the Flory Building on the Douglas County Fairgrounds last month to buy directly from Kansas farmers and ranchers.  

One vendor, Jeff Jones of Jones Premium Beef in Seneca, said he gained more than 100 new customers that day.  

We were very excited to have Rick McNary and Stacy Davis, Sumner County Economic Development director, join Kansas Farm Bureau on their Inside Ag podcast. They talked about the work happening in Caldwell around the Border Queen Harvest Hub.

Running any business takes relentless effort and determination to pursue a vision for making things work out. Amie Brunkow invested countless hours into a business plan for a meat processing plant before signing a purchase agreement to buy Alta Vista Meat Co. in February 2020. By the time the deal closed later that summer, Brunkow’s business plan, like the rest of the world, was upside down. However, her effort and determination remained and in the four years since buying the business, it’s thriving and expanding.
