Specialty Producer Regional Meetup: Yankton

South Dakota Specialty Producers Association

Regional Specialty Producer Meetup for those who market in the SE region of South Dakota. Network, discuss and learn about opportunities.

Boss' Event Center (Formerly Minervas Grill and Bar)

Specialty producers and those who have an interest in supporting local foods in the Southeast region of South Dakota, are encouraged to register for this event. This is open for SDSPA members and non members. The focus of this event is networking, and providing an opporutnity to explore aggregation. Aggregation can come in many forms- food hubs, multi-farm CSAs, Co-ops, combining a single product to reach buyers, pooling products or carpooling products to connect with a restaurant, retailer, or institution (such as nursing home, school, hospital). This meeting may result in producers looking to explore the development of a new aggregation opporunity in their region, or simply better utilize something already happening.
