Sun Prairie: Food, Farms, and Community Program

From healthy soil to healthy communities, local food systems depend on sustainable growing practices and strong community partnerships. Have you ever wondered how food pantries get their food, or how compost is used to improve soil quality?

Join us for a free community event at Sun Prairie Public Library focused on sustainable farming, benefits of compost, and strategies for distributing local food to underserved communities. Through a series of mini presentations, attendees will learn how growing and distribution practices can strengthen our food system, reduce waste, and improve food access. After, there will be a guided tour of the Sun Prairie Community Garden located next to the library.
