Join us for a fun day of networking and learning from one another. Hosted by Joe Hetrick.
This event is designed to cultivate meaningful conversations and strengthen our local farmer network. Connect with fellow producers, share experiences, ask questions, and build relationships that extend beyond the field day. Together, we can learn from one another, support conservation efforts, and grow a resilient farming community.
