The primary purpose of this meeting is to help prospective new Food Hub farmers learn more about our operation and assess their own “wholesale readiness.” This is a virtual event that will be held over Zoom.
We would love to connect with producers of all kinds, from produce, eggs, meat and dairy, to grains, honey and other wholesale products. While this meeting is geared toward producers who have not yet worked with the hub, current hub producers are welcome to join. There is no obligation to sell to or plan with the hub if you attend the meetings.

Field to Family is an Iowa City-based non-profit that works to build a more sustainable food system in our region through our Farm to School, Farm Stands, promotional and Food Hub programs. This year we partnered with the City of Iowa City on an online farmers market as well, and will be continuing to provide direct-to-consumer sales at least through the end of 2020.
For those who cannot make the meeting, a video of the presentation will be linked on our website the week following the event. Feel free to email [email protected] with questions!
