OPEN FARM DAY WAS A SUCCESS!
Our Cup Runneth Over Folks.
Thank EWE all for helping make our second annual Open Farm Days such a great success!
We planned it, and you came, by the truck loads! Tourists & Townies, community members and agricultural enthusiasts once again gathered and traveled the trail to tour, taste and learn. What we got was so much more; you came out in droves, excited, engaged, and interested to truly connect to the experience. The energy was amazing (even in the heat!), the smiles were infectious, and as promised, the animals were adorable. From the bottom of our very full hearts, thank you. We raised lots of moo-la to infuse back into our agricultural community via FARMstead ED, The SLO Great AGventure, and Must! Charities, and all of us made life-long memories rooted in a deeper understanding of what makes this community so truly special.
ALL the thanks go to the farmers and purveyors who jumped through hoops with planning and promotion, helped spread the word, and received the community with open arms (and gates).
Extra huge thank you to our sponsors—Open Farm Days would not have been possible without them. They're the pulse of the trail and we're so, so grateful for their generous support and sponsorship. Please help us extend our thanks to them by frequenting their local businesses.
We look forward to you joining us for our 3rd annual Open Farm Days next year! Until then, moo-chas gracias from the whole herd here at FARMstead ED & the SLO Co Farm Trail
