Farmer Resources & Support

Known & Grown is a farmer-led initiative that provides farm coaching, networking opportunities, farm-to-market assistance, and collaborations to reduce farm costs and help farmers succeed.

Field Days, Workshops, & Webinars

Join us for our Field Day and Webinar series! These in-person and virtual events are a great opportunity for farmers and growers–from aspiring to seasoned–and anyone interested in regenerative agriculture to connect, learn from experts, and see innovative farming practices in action. Each Field Day offers practical knowledge and a chance to build community with fellow growers in the greater St. Louis region.

Known & Grown’s Good Stewardship Practices

Farmers in our program must adhere to a set of required practices and are encouraged to use other environmentally responsible and ethical practices. Explore the criteria for crop and livestock farmers.
