Kansas Specialty Crop Growers Association (KSCGA) is a 501(c)(5) organization working to advance specialty crops—and specialty crop growers—in the state of Kansas. KSCGA is focused on expanding and supporting a network of growers equipped with the resources, education, and mentoring necessary to increase production, visibility, market reach, and profitability.

With the support of our grower members, KSCGA continues to expand our capacity in:

  • Grower Networking and Support:

    • Private Facebook Group—with active involvement of over 200 growers throughout the state sharing and seeking information and advice (make sure you’re up to date on your membership. to participate)

    • KSCGA has received overwhelmingly positive response around initial trial demonstrations on our online grower directory/networking system that will offer our members opportunities to search and connect with other growers and markets across the state, find product—and markets for your product, and more. Watch for info on our public trial period roll-out soon—and join KSCGA to continue to have access to the directory/networking platform for the long run.

  • Member discounts on purchases with our Business Supporters—and we continue to reach out to more businesses and services to offer KSCGA member discounts.

  • Outreach and Education: Our mailing outreach of over 350 growers, markets, and industry rep’s offers info on grower efforts and innovations across the state, training and educational opportunities, current grant opportunities, and much more. KSCGA is working with our partners in promoting and developing workshops and tours addressing areas of interest for our grower members.
