Farming for Freedom Trail
FREEDOM WEEKEND
2024 Freedom Weekend
Trail Events
The Farming for Freedom Trail FREEDOM WEEKEND includes two days of celebration, shared dinner and presentations, and activities at each farm. Each farm hosts a gathering with activities and opportunities to volunteer and purchase products from the farm. Freedom Weekend participants from the community and outside Ithaca enjoy eating and drinking, touring, and making merry at each farm. Live music, arts and crafts for children, and farm workshops are provided along the way!
There will be three farm visits each on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors will meet the farmers and their farms and get their trail passport stamped as they go, eating and drinking and learning about each farm's unique history and work.
