EVENTS

At Ease Orchard hosts a variety of events both at our home farm in Indiana and across the country. Many of our events are held outdoors and are weather-dependent, so we encourage you to check our event calendar frequently for updates, registration information, and directions. In addition to our in-person gatherings, we also host monthly online virtual events covering a range of topics from sustainable agricultural practices to interviews with other nonprofits that benefit veterans.

Thanks to our generous supporters, many of our events are offered at no cost.
