Healthy dialogue driving effort to grow more local food in Harvey County

Kansas Leadership Center Journal - January 25, 2018

When the Harvey County Food and Farm Council served lunch as part of a conference this summer, organizers faced an embarrassing reality: It was hard to come up with enough locally raised food to feed the 30 or so participants.
