Prince George’s Farmer & Producer Roundtable
Prince George’s Farmer & Producer Roundtable
April 10 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Changing federal funding priorities and the state and county budget crisis directly impact Prince George’s County farmers, producers, and food businesses—cutting essential resources, limiting infrastructure investments, and threatening the stability of our local food economy. We want to hear from you.
Join us for a critical conversation on how these funding shifts affect your operations and what solutions are needed. This forum will bring together farmers, producers, food entrepreneurs, and policymakers to discuss financial challenges, advocate for necessary investments, and explore strategies for resilience.
