ANNOUNCING A NEW 2-DAY EVENT FOR FARMERS AND FOOD LEADERS!
Dig Deep, Rise Together
March 24th & 25th, 2026
Springfield, IL
This new two-day event is a gathering for farmers and food leaders who want to have a real say in Illinois’ farm and food future. You will have the opportunity to sharpen your leadership, think strategically, and build power together, from the ground up, for a farm and food system that works for everyone who grows, eats, and depends on it. You’ll leave ready to lead, connected to others, and prepared to make a lasting difference.
YOU CAN JOIN US AND SHARE YOUR STORY WITH LAWMAKERS!
FARM & FOOD ADVOCACY DAY
March 25th, 2026
Springfield, IL
Lawmakers need to hear your stories, your challenges, and your solutions.
You can join our farmer-led, eater-powered Alliance for our biggest collective action of the year: Food & Farm Advocacy Day.
Your voice makes a difference for small farms, local food, and regenerative agriculture — here’s how we know: During Advocacy Day last year, Alliance members helped recruit an incredible 31 legislators to become new sponsors for bills in just one day.
Farmers and eaters like you showing up is how we build power and pass the policies you care about for a better future.
