Manchester, NH – January 2025 – The Farmers Dinner is thrilled to announce a partnership with The Farmers Land Trust for the upcoming 2025 season, aligning efforts to protect farmland and empower local farmers with equitable access to land and resources. This collaboration supports the Farmland Commons initiative, an innovative model designed to preserve working farmland and nurture multi-generational, community-centered agricultural systems.
Since 2012, The Farmers Dinner has been committed to highlighting New England’s agricultural heritage through unique, farm-to-table events that connect diners to the land. This new partnership builds on our shared values of sustainable farming and community ownership. With The Farmers Land Trust, we are excited to host events and provide opportunities to directly contribute to farmland preservation, supporting regenerative agriculture, soil health, and food system resilience.

The Farmers Dinner’s 2025 series will feature exclusive events with proceeds benefiting The Farmers Land Trust, allowing diners to experience the farm’s bounty while directly contributing to community centered farmland and food cultivation. Join us as we honor the farmers, land, flavors and creators that make the farming community so important.
