join us for a
Small Business Discussion series

Join us and Naturally Wisconsin for a Small Business Discussion Series for folks growing and making good food in Wisconsin.
Ever wish you could talk shop with folks who really get the ups and downs of working in food and farming — all while sipping something cold and local? Us too. Whether you're knee-deep in harvest season or mapping out your next big move, this series is all about sharing tools, ideas, and real talk with people who understand the landscape.
Each event will feature a mix of presentations, panel conversations, and open Q&A — all in a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere. Bring your questions, your stories, and your appetite for good conversations. We'd love to have you join!
