Growing Together: Strengthening Regional Producer-Led Networks

On July 12, Farmers of the Roche-A-Cri hosted a Regional Producer-Led Gathering to strengthen connections among producer-led groups in the area. Representatives from five groups came together for an evening of collaboration, beginning with a shared meal and followed by a facilitated discussion led by Anna Mitchell, Natural Resources Educator at UW-Extension.

The conversation sparked new ideas for cross-group collaboration on field days and conservation initiatives. This gathering reinforced the importance of regional partnerships in advancing sustainable agriculture and community-led conservation.
