Join OGRAIN, Artisan Grain Collaborative, The Land Connection, IDEA Farm Network, Mad Agriculture, and Rodale Institute for this field day for both farmers and distillers to learn in the field and at the distillery. Tour organic fields and discuss proper food‑grade grain handling at Cow Creek Organic Farm, then proceed to Silver Tree Spirits for lunch featuring a farmer and distiller panel followed by organic buyer/seller networking time. The afternoon will include a distillery tour, a grain‑quality discussion, and an optional off‑flavor spirit tasting, offering participants a hands‑on opportunity to understand how grain quality influences flavor outcomes in distilled products. This free event is for organic farmers, those transitioning, and those who are curious about organic production, and organic buyers.
