Business Decisions: Food Access Programs, Wholesale & Beyond
Friday, November 1, 2024 | 10:00 AM CDT - 3:00 PM CDT | Free
Hosted By: Philadelphia Community Farm
Making big decisions about your farm can be exciting and impactful, especially when your farm values feeding those in need in your community. The ability to make difficult decisions can determine the long term business success of your farm!
Join the Wisconsin Local Food Purchase Assistance (WI LFPA) Program at Philadelphia Community Farm for a workshop on holistic decision making for your farm. During this workshop, learn how to balance your farm’s values related to farming for food access programs with important business considerations through a process called Adaptive Learning. Attendees will gain the skills needed to identify and address weak links, adverse factors, and log jams before they become a problem. Farmers should attend this workshop to better understand themselves, their business, and the hunger relief communities that they work with. The practice of Adaptive Learning leads to holistic decision making that centers the farm organism and allows farmers to maintain their values related to hunger relief.

Educational Programming
THIS IS A PRIVATE EVENT. PCF WILL BE CLOSED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
Open Singing with The Hinterlands
The Hinterlands are an ensemble of artists in Detroit, MI (Waawiyaatanong) that explores U.S. identity and history through the creation of visceral, imaginative, theatre works. Since 2018 they have been exploring traditional songs of the U.S. and the British Isles, with a specific focus on the Applachian singing tradition.
Open Singing is a gathering of singers of all abilities and ages. In this session, The Hinterlands will lead songs from different singing traditions as a way to deepen our connection to lineage and to broaden our knowledge of songs from around the world. Open Singing is not a performance group, it is purely an opportunity to sing in harmony with others.
St. Croix Community Song Circle
Let's Sing Together During the 4th Annual River Road Farm Crawl!
Singing is an ancient and powerful way for a group of “me’s” to become a “we.”
Lia Falls and Barbara McAfee will lead and teach simple songs, in the aural tradition (no lyric sheets or music to read). All are welcome, whether or not you think of yourself as a singer! **
We will sing songs that celebrate Nature, and being Human; songs that bring us together in the magic and medicine of singing with others. We will listen deeply and we will experience a joy in singing with others, and together we will make beauty!
Age Requirement: Singers of all ages are welcome to attend. Children under age 16 must attend with an adult.
Skill Level: This is for people of any skill level and it is great when there is a mix of inexperienced and experienced singers! In community singing we hold each other up. All are welcome.
Location Details: Philadlephia Community Farm 599 280th St., Osceola WI, 54020 (During the 4th Annual River Road Farm Crawl)
