The Kansas Department of Agriculture’s state trademark program, From the Land of Kansas, introduces a new, online marketplace. This new site will make Kansas-made and produced products more readily available to consumers, providing the ease and convenience of online shopping. To shop on the From the Land of Kansas Marketplace, visit Shop.FromTheLandOfKansas.com.

The online marketplace is a first of its kind allowing consumers to purchase not only From the Land of Kansas branded merchandise, but also making available items from From the Land of Kansas members from one convenient location. Products and companies range from Kansas BBQ sauces, brownie mixes, gourmet pet treats to handcrafted mugs and more.

“The From the Land of Kansas Marketplace is an exciting program that highlights all the great things that businesses in Kansas have to offer,” said Tim Curtis, Sr. Vice President of Marketing, Jack Stack Barbecue. “We are excited to join the From the Land of Kansas Marketplace to sell Jack Stack’s renowned signature sauces and rubs to a larger audience in order to give everyone an opportunity to taste and enjoy what makes our community unique.”

Vicki Williams, from Pet Delights, Topeka, Kan., is another company who has products included in the Marketplace. “This program allows me the opportunity to have a greater online presence,” she said. “Reaching new consumers and expanding my e-commerce presence would not have been possible without the assistance of the trademark program.”

The From the Land of Kansas program seeks to promote and support Kansas farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses that grow, raise or manufacture agriculture products or products for agriculture use, according to Stacy Mayo, From the Land of Kansas program director. “The online Marketplace is another tool available to trademark members to help them develop their businesses. Some of our members’ websites do not have the capability to sell products online. The Marketplace allows members to have an online presence and connect with more customers. Make sure to bookmark the site, as it will continue to feature new companies and additional products.”
