Farmer-Distiller Grain Connections at Cow Creek Organic Farm & Silver Tree Spirits

August 27 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm CDT
Free

Join OGRAIN, Artisan Grain Collaborative, The Land Connection, IDEA Farm Network and Rodale Institute for this unique field day tailored for both farmers and distillers to learn in the field and at the distillery. Dallas and Will Glazik will lead us as we tour organic fields and discuss proper food-grade grain handling at Cow Creek Organic Farm. We’ll transition to Silver Tree Spirits for lunch featuring a farmer & distiller panel followed by organic buyer/seller networking time. We’ll wrap up the day with a distillery tour, grain quality talk, and optional off-flavor tasting. Have lingering questions or want to spend more time enjoying this great group of folks? Stick around the distillery to keep the conversation going. Come out to explore and network across the grain chain.
