Join S.A.V.E. at Lucas County Farm Connection event

Lourdes University, a corporate sponsor of S.A.V.E., has partnered with Lucas Soil and Water Conservation District (Lucas SWCD), Lucas County Auditor’s Office, and several other local agencies and institutions for the inaugural Lucas County Farm Connection event. This free event will take place July 20, 2024, from 10am-2pm at MacQueen’s Orchards in Holland, Ohio.

S.A.V.E members will be on hand to share info about the organization at the event.

MacQueen Orchards uses apple-processing methods that were chosen to minimize any environmental impacts. The family-friendly Lucas County Farm Connection will welcome and bring together both the
agricultural and non-agricultural communities to learn, play, and inspire forward progress for sustainable food production in Lucas County. There will be a main-stage speaker series, a children’s area, food trucks, a tour of MacQueen Orchards, and a business and agency expo.

Emphasizing the importance of home-grown food and grain produced in Lucas County, the event
organizers will make attendees more aware of 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 will receive
a free MacQueen’s freshly made donut.
