Take a drive on August 23 to enjoy a late afternoon and evening of music, food and fun at the Farmers Rising nonprofit’s annual Alfalfa Festival.
The event takes place from 3 to 10 p.m. at Farmers Rising’s headquarters and farm in Caledonia, located near Rockford in far north-central Illinois.
Farmers Rising’s farmer education programs play an important role in helping beginning and early-stage farmers get started and build their businesses to meet the rising consumer demand for local food produced using sustainable, humane and fair practices.
There is a lineup of great independent music acts, with food and beverages available for purchase. Attendees will be able to stroll around the grounds and commune with Farmers Rising’s animal friends—including those at the organization’s new livestock incubator farm.
Location: 1560 Rockton Rd., Caledonia. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit FlipCause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MjMwNzkx.
