Frederick County Homesteader’s August Monthly Meeting: Open House Event

Join us for our Frederick County Homesteader’s August Monthly Meeting: Open House Event! This month, we’re excited to present “Getting to Know Your Local Farmers” — an engaging and informative session dedicated to understanding the importance of how your food is raised and what questions to ask before purchasing directly from local farms.

• Meet Your Local Farmers: Connect with the faces behind the food and learn about their practices and values. Hear from guest speaker, Caleb Fahnestock, of Back to Basics Farm on the differences between Grass Finishing and Grain Finishing beef, key terms, and important practices to consider when purchasing direct from local farms.

• Knowledge Exchange: Gain insights into how your food is raised and why it matters.

• Oma’s Famous Crunchies: Enjoy a complimentary taste of Oma’s delightful Crunchies!

• Support Local: Wine and coffee will be available for purchase, with all proceeds going to support our local farm friends at Patti's Place at Laurel Grove Wine Farm.

Bring your curiosity, questions, and an appetite for great conversation and delicious treats. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your connection with local agriculture and support our vibrant farming community.
We can’t wait to see you there!

RSVP to help us ensure we have enough seating available!
