Over the next two weeks, farmers and eaters have a chance to talk about what's next for agriculture in the Kansas City area.
The Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture hosts its annual urban farmers and friends meeting on Saturday, January 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Master's Community Church in Kansas City, Kansas. It brings activists, community leaders and farmers together over pie and coffee to help facilitate relationships and partnerships that will fuel the growth of urban farms.
A week later, on Saturday, January 30, the West Central Region Innovative Small Farmer's Outreach (TWCRISFO for short; it's part of Lincoln University's Cooperative Extension program) offers an introduction to poultry class from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you've considered having a chicken coop in your backyard, this covers everything from feeding to the relevant legislation when it comes to raising chickens in an urban environment.
The seminar will be held at the Lafayette Co. Extension Office in Higginsville, Missouri, about an hour outside Kansas City. The class is $10 per person or $15 per couple, and that includes lunch. You can register with Susan Jasters at 816-589-4725 or jasters@lincolnu.edu.
