We are thrilled to announce that Lionberry will have a booth at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson! This huge, 10-day event is held at the Kansas State Fairgrounds beginning Sept. 5.
This will cap an exciting and busy summer of farmers markets, fairs, and festivals. You can find our full schedule here.
In addition to the market portion of the Kansas State Fair, organizers have a great entertainment calendar set up for the Nex-Tech Grandstand including a comedy set from Jeff Dunham, and concerts from acts like The Fray, Plain White T’s, Ludacris and Josh Turner.
Get your tickets now and we’ll see you in Hutch!
People act like small batch is a hobby.
Nope.
Every bottle from a small farmer is a value-added product inside a value food chain.
That chain is made of humans, not container ships.
If global trade gets tariffed to death, or the truckers strike, or a war kicks off, or a fuel shortage hits, or a natural disaster…guess what?
Walmart will not be driving to Thailand for pineapple juice.
Local food is the only thing that can actually disrupt the global supply chain — in a good way.
And here’s the delusion:
Everyone thinks “we’ll connect with the local farmers when we need them.”
Nope.
If the shelves go empty, it’s already too late.
Now is the time to get the relationships built. The value chain in motion.
Now is the time to slot locals in the stores — even if it’s as “novelty items” at first on a local farm shelf.
Because when the global pipeline hiccups?
The people who will actually feed your region
aren’t the ones with the biggest warehouses.
Shop local or… we’ll be learning how to season cardboard and call it rustic.
