Hundred Acre, a unique urban farm providing a rapid response solution to food insecurity in the heart of Milwaukee, has partnered with the Wisconsin Local Food Purchase Assistance Program (WI LFPA) to host an afternoon of networking and resource sharing around Urban Farm to Food Access developments.    

As WI LFPA winds down its first year of programming, we celebrate Urban Farm to Food Access successes in Milwaukee County!   

Urban farmers play a critical role supplying food access programs through the WI LFPA and other activities. Urban agricultural businesses are varied operations with unique sets of opportunities and challenges. Urban farmers work to address community need and create solutions from land access to distribution. Join community leaders, farmers, hunger relief, non- profit, state agency, and industry partners for an in-depth discussion on this important and complex work.
