We’re excited to support our partners at AgLaunch and the Farmer Innovation Network (FIN) for an upcoming Game Time Tactics session on April 2.

This session will feature Lexy Close of the Appalachian Producers Cooperative, sharing how farmers turned local investment into $10M in funding to build a USDA-inspected meat processing facility—creating stronger market access and new opportunities for producers.

A great opportunity to learn how farmers are building solutions and strengthening regional systems.
