🌱 Exciting News from: Morgan County Co-Op, Free Food Coalition! 🌱

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our dedicated initiative to grow truly safe and delicious produce for our neighbors living with Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS). We understand the significant challenges posed by this allergy, where even food grown in the presence of mammalian allergens can cause serious reactions.

That's why we're committed to a completely mammal-free approach!

Here at the Morgan County Co-Op, Free Food Coalition, we're utilizing clean soil practices and exploring innovative soilless options to cultivate fruits, vegetables, and herbs in an environment free from any mammalian influence.

Our goal is simple: to provide a reliable source of nutritious food that individuals with AGS can enjoy without fear.
This is more than just growing food; it's about fostering health, independence, and community support. We believe everyone deserves access to safe and wholesome nourishment.

☀️ Growing Goodness, Mammal-Free! ☀️

Ever heard of Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS)? It's a tricky allergy where even tiny bits of mammal stuff can cause big reactions. That's why the Morgan County Co-Op, Free Food Coalition is on a mission!

Our goal is simple: grow super-safe and yummy fruits, veggies, and herbs that are 100% FREE of any mammal byproducts – from the seed all the way to your plate! 🌱 We're talking clean soil, soilless growing – the works!

Why? Because for our friends with AGS, even food grown near mammals can be a problem. We're creating a mammal-free zone for delicious, healthy eats!

We're also teaming up with awesome local farmers and gardeners who get it – growing for our community.

And guess what? We're setting up a special, easy-to-find spot near Stover (just off South-135!) where folks with AGS can directly access this safe food. It's like a community-powered fresh produce stand, run by people who care. ❤️

This isn't a business – it's neighbors helping neighbors. We rely on the kindness of gardeners and makers who are creating AGS-safe goodies. It's a big challenge, but it's SO important because for many with AGS, even a vegan diet isn't enough without this super-clean produce. We need these safe foods to eat!

Want to join our growing movement? If you're a local, mammal-free gardener or maker, we'd LOVE to connect! Let's grow a healthier, safer future together! 🥕🥦🍎



If you're unsure as to whether your produce, product, or service is AG-Safe, please contact us and we can tell you if it is, and if it isn't we can teach you how to make it possible to be AG-Safe! (For free!)

Call now to connect with business.

A research team led by Dr. Michael Chao, Dr. Priscilla Brenes, Dr. Yoonseong Park, and Paige Tegeler is diving into an emerging health issue: Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS). AGS is a potentially life-changing allergy to red meat and other mammal-derived products triggered by a bite from the Lone Star tick. This study aims to better understand the prevalence of AGS in Kansas and the challenges faced by those living with this condition.

The team is hosting informal listening sessions designed to foster conversation, share insights about AGS and their research, and address questions. Learn more at https://kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8lcyzEprMnaZ9Ns
