SUMMARY:Growing Food and Building Connections
DESCRIPTION:A Future Harvest Field Day with Manna Food Center & Sandy Spring Gardens\nCome spend the day in the field with fellow farmers\, food system partners\, and community builders for an engaging afternoon of practical learning\, good conversation\, and connection. \nHosted at Sandy Spring Gardens\, this field day brings together Manna Food Center and farmer Tom Farquhar to explore how small farms can connect their harvest to local food access while navigating the realities of growing food in Maryland. \nFrom Farm to Food Distribution\nAnnarose from Manna Food Center will introduce farmers to Manna’s work and its Farm to Food Bank program. \nLearn how local farmers can get involved by selling or donating fresh produce and proteins that are then connected with food assistance providers throughout the region. \nRSVP Required: https://futureharvest.wildapricot.org/event-6864341 \nWe’ll talk about: \nHow the Farm to Food Bank program works\nWhat types of products farmers can provide\nHow farmers connect with Manna\nOpportunities to sell or donate farm products\nBuilding stronger connections between local farms and the communities they serve\nCover Crops & Small-Scale Vegetable Production\nTom Farquhar of Sandy Spring Gardens will take us into the practical side of farming\, sharing his experience with cover crops and small-scale vegetable production in Maryland. \nWe’ll dig into the real questions farmers face: What works? What doesn’t? And what does it actually take to grow vegetables on a small farm? \nTom will also share the history of the Sandy Spring Gardens Barn and the story of the farm\, giving participants a closer look at the land\, its history\, and the practices behind the growing operation. \nFarmer Q&A + Open Conversation\nBring your questions\, your experiences\, and your lessons learned! \nThis will be an open conversation where farmers can talk through challenges\, share what they’re seeing in their own fields\, and exchange ideas that can be taken back to the farm. \n️ Lunch & Farmer Networking\nWe’ll wrap up the learning portion with lunch and networking — because some of the best farmer-to-farmer learning happens around the table. \nCome ready to eat\, connect\, ask questions\, share stories\, and build relationships with farmers and food system partners from across the DMV. \nCome for the field day. Leave with new ideas\, new connections\, and new possibilities for where your harvest can go. \nThis event is FREE\, RSVP required.
