Posted: Tuesday, June 4, 2024 by: Jessica Grisier | Category: Events


Lucas Soil and Water Conservation District (Lucas SWCD), Lucas County Auditor’s Office, and several other local agencies and institutions, invite you to join us for the inaugural Lucas County Farm Connection happening this summer on July 20, 2024 at MacQueen Orchards in Holland, Ohio.

This family-friendly event will welcome and bring together both the agricultural and non-agricultural communities to learn, play, and inspire forward progress for food production in Lucas County. The free event will feature a main-stage speaker series (topics to be announced), children’s area, food trucks, tour of MacQueen Orchards, and a business/agency expo.

Emphasizing the importance of “Home Grown” food and grain produced in our County, the event organizers hope that attendees will learn about local farming, and all that it entails, in both rural and urban settings.

Registration is required, but the event is free to attend. All those registered by July 14, 2024 will receive a free MacQueen’s freshly-made donut. To register, visit www.LucasSWCD.org/LCFC24.

The Lucas County Farm Connection is being brought to you by the following agencies and institutions: Lucas SWCD; Lucas County Auditor’s Office; Lucas County Farm Bureau; Ohio State University Extension – Lucas County; Toledo GROWs; Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful; City of Toledo Division of Environmental Services; Lucas County Engineer’s Office; Lourdes University; and the Lucas County Agricultural Society.

Sponsorships that will directly support this county-wide free event are also being accepted. For more information on how to sponsor the event and the sponsorship levels that include advertising opportunities, please visit: www.LucasSWCD.org/LCFC24.
