Meeting Time: Tuesday, Sept 29th 2026 from 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Meeting Overview: This is a casual convening of local Pennsylvania farmers and food producers in Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, and Wyoming counties to identify needs and opportunities within our regional food system.
Our goal is to help support a thriving regional food system here in Northeastern PA in order to grow markets, increase grower wages, and improve food access.
Meeting Location: Abington Community Library, 1200 West Grove St., Clarks Summit, PA 18411
Meeting Agenda:
The Endless Mountains Visitors Bureau’s executive director, Jill Robinson, will be showing us the upcoming guides and resources they’re using to support agriculture in our region and will be letting us all know how we can get involved and be included.

Question Salad: have a question for the group? Add it to the salad bowl when you arrive. We’ll draw a question from the bowl and read it aloud, if you can answer another grower’s question in 1-min or less go for it right then and there, if the answer necessitates more time to be helpful, let the group know anyone who wants to chat about it can see you after the game.
Post-it note written brainstorm: add your thoughts to the questions and prompts on the wall, including:
What are topics you’d want an expert to help teach us about at a future meeting (such as social media marketing, farm bookkeeper or tax prep, Q&A with an expert on home kitchen licenses, etc)
If this group could work together to help address one issue, solve one problem, or create one new opportunity, what would you want that to be?
