Have you ever wondered if it’s really possible for a small-scale farmer to protect the soil and water AND make enough money to continue doing so year after year for decades?  

Then come to Henry’s Farm on Aug. 4 to learn from Henry, who has been doing exactly that for the past 30 years!  Join The Land Connection and IDEA Farm Network on Henry’s Farm in Congerville for an inspiring field day as we explore the philosophy and practical strategies behind building a sustainable, profitable farm business.

Come hear Henry’s story as he shares how small farms can reduce input costs, improve soil health, and attract eco-conscious customers all while caring for the land and running a financially sound operation.

Henry has been growing a diverse array of vegetables for over 30 years! After many years of living with other cultures, he realized what was important was simple, honest living that respects the earth and contributes to the health and well-being of others, “be they humans or rabbits, earthworms or soil microbes, oak trees or algae.”

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your farming philosophy, you’ll walk away with ideas, tools, and connections to take your farm to the next level sustainably.
