Events for Farmers, by Farmers

Sometimes a 20 minute conversation with someone who gets it can change the course of a season. Here are upcoming opportunities to have those conversations in the flesh with other small scale beginning farmers.

Summer Social: July 8 - Bread and Roses
Last year, we started a new tradition: a farmer social that falls just when we all are ready for a little fun - most plants are in the ground and growing, all of the animals are out grazing and rotating through pastures, but the busy harvest season isn't yet upon us.
Join the Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition at Bread and Roses Gardens and Nursery on July 8 for our Second Annual Summer Social. Party starts at 12. Tour of the farm and nursery at 12:30. Good, old fashioned potluck lunch at 2pm. Acoustic music starting around 3pm (bring an instrument and join in!). Socializing until 5pm.
Bring something to share for the potluck. We'll have some beer and other drinks on hand, but BYO's are encouraged. We'll also have cups, plates, and the like. Bathroom accommodations are primitive and sustainable (read: composting toilet). Bring along a camp chair and a smile.
Two more notes: Please leave the pets at home - there's not a lot of space for animals to run around. Also, bring your swim trunks/suit if you want to take a dip in the pool/pond.
Can't wait to see you for fun, sun, and socializing.
Driving Details:
From Bloomington take 446 south across the lake to Allen’s Creek Ramp Rd. Turn right and come down the hill to Roberts Rd. Turn left and follow the road until it turns to gravel and you see the high tunnels. 9127 S Roberts Rd Bloomington, IN 47401.

Building a Farm Food Safety Plan with INFU: April 15, 2018 @ Dugger Family Farm
|
Maybe you've been to a food safety training, maybe not...but either way, you likely need to figure out just how to write your food safety plan. Come spend the afternoon with our friends at the Indiana Farmers Union. You'll learn how the new food safety laws apply to you, and get some practical advice about writing your plan.
And keep an eye out: INFU will also be offering some 1:1, on-farm consultations (for free!) to help farmers (you?) write food safety plans. See you there on Sunday, April 15, 2:30-4:30pm at Dugger Family Farm, 6559 E 1200 N., Morristown, IN 46161. |
