Brunch and Bloom

Join the Kansas Black Farmers Association for Brunch & Bloom: Women Farmers Aging Strong, a welcoming and empowering gathering designed to support women farmers as they navigate every season of their agricultural journey.

This event centers on sustaining farm operations while honoring the wisdom, experience, and evolving needs of women in agriculture. Through meaningful conversation and shared resources, attendees will explore practical strategies for adapting farming practices over time, including low-impact innovations such as hydroponics and raised bed systems. We’ll also highlight available tools, programs, and support networks that help women farmers remain productive, resilient, and balanced.

Brunch & Bloom creates space for connection, learning, and reflection — recognizing that strong farms are built not only on healthy soil, but on the well-being of the farmers who steward the land.

This is a free event, and lunch is included.
Registration is required.
