Vendor Information

The Mid-MO Homestead Expo is built around local makers, growers, educators, and small businesses who are actually living the work they do. Our vendor floor is not a place for passive browsing - it is where real conversations happen, where people find their new favorite local farm, and where attendees leave with something useful in their hands.

We keep our vendor lineup curated and intentional. That means we limit similar vendor categories to make sure everyone has a fair shot, and we prioritize vendors who fit the spirit of the event: practical, community-focused, and rooted in real skills and products.
