Rooted & Rising: Cultivating Community Among Women Landowners

Are you a woman who owns farmland? Whether you are certified organic, in the process of transitioning, or simply curious about ecological practices, this event is for you.

Join The Land Connection for a special networking event built for women landowners! This is your space to connect with a powerful community of women who share your values and your commitment to the soil. The decisions you make for your land send ripples through our food system, our soil, and our communities.

This event will open conversations about the tools and pathways that support you in your stewardship, ensuring the long-term health and legacy of your land. In addition to discussing organic certification, we’re pleased to have The Land Conservancy of McHenry County with us. They’ll be available throughout the event to answer any questions you have about conservation easements and how these tools can preserve farmland for generations to come.  Alongside these resources, participants will learn about the peer-to-peer support opportunities available through the IDEA Farm Network, Illinois Women in Conservation (ILWiC), and the USDA’s Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP).
