Organic Seed to Spirit Field Day + Buyer/Seller Mixer - Jul 2026

📅 24 July 2026 | 📍 Cow Creek Organic Farm and Silver Tree Spirits, Paxton, Illinois

Join OGRAIN, Artisan Grain Collaborative, The Land Connection, IDEA Farm Network, Mad Agriculture, and Rodale Institute for this unique field day from 10:30 am – 4:30 pm 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.

The afternoon will include a distillery tour, a grain‑quality discussion, and an optional off‑flavor spirit tasting, offering participants a hands‑on opportunity to understand how grain quality influences flavor outcomes in distilled products. Have lingering questions or want to spend more time enjoying this great group of folks? Stick around the distillery to keep the conversation going. This event is for organic farmers, those transitioning, and those who are curious about organic production, and organic buyers. Come out to explore and network across the grain chain.
