Kansas River Valley Local Food Home
Welcome to our Wiki! The goal is to use this website to help create a viable local food system in the Kansas River Valley.
UPDATE from Rhonda Janke: I just added two new pages to the wiki - both under "State-wide Resources." (Click to see).
One page includes the talks and info presented at our March 2 "Meet and Greet" in Lawrence Kansas, all on local food related issues.
The other page contains recent calls for proposals. I'll try to remember to take these down after the grant due date. Everyone - feel free to add info you
see to this page too.
To do that, we need to know what we already have going on, which is a LOT!
We also need to meet one another, in person, and/or in this virtual space, so feel free to join and contribute.
I have set up this site to allow contributions from anyone who joins, but not from anonymous visitors.
To get started, the site pages will simply be the names of towns along the Kansas River from East to West. I'll start with
the larger towns (Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and Junction City) but feel free to add other towns as projects
and activities develop, or you just want to "put them on the map."
I'll also suggest some general categories of things we could list for each of our communities that are resources (buyers and sellers) for local food.
These can be described, and details and links to other sites with more info can be provided. For example:
Farmers' Markets
Gov. programs
Schools
Non-profit organizations and their projects
Others?
See other pages on this site to contribute discussions, photos, etc. Just join the site (need name and password), click the "easy edit" button, and type away!
Don't worry about messing stuff up for now. You have to click "save" to save your edits, and if you delete something important by accident, all previous versions of this page are
saved and can be recovered.

Who is interested in discussing providing farm products directly to institutional food programs like schools and senior homes?

I am a local parent and advocate of the Slow Food movement- I would love to be a part of these discussions and I'm happy to share any information with other interested parents in town. The Farm to School website farmtoschool.org may be a good resource to use...

Should we be inviting all those who have attended any of the Ken Meter events, or who participated in setting up those events to this Wiki? I think we should. How do we organize that effort?

"I could use the original email list from Lawrence Food Future.... Should we parse it down to active participants?" That seems reasonable. I wonder about inviting any or all who attended one of the Ken Meter events, if we've their electronic handle? Maybe that is too inclusive, No?
