Farm Buds Extravaganza in Aitkin, MN!
Connect With Farmers, Food, and Community
The Farm Buds Aitkin Farming Extravaganza is a one-of-a-kind weekend designed to reconnect people with the land, local food systems, and the farmers who nourish the communities in Aitkin County!
Whether you're passionate about sustainable agriculture, curious about where your food comes from, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend a weekend, this experience is designed for everyone.
Throughout the weekend, participants will:
Visit with and work alongside local farmers on projects they could use an extra set of hands with.
Experience the vibrant community of Aitkin County and see what they are doing to support agrotourism in the area.
Take a tour of American Peat Technology on the outskirts of Aitkin where they not only make peat responsibly, but support the local farming community.
