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.

    In partnership with Veterans IN Farming, we invite you to join us on April 24th as we kick off the season at Jack’s Farm in Anderson, IN. We will be prepping beds in the high tunnel, setting up and testing irrigation, planting in the raised beds, and more! We have tasks for those who would prefer to sit and weed as well as those looking for a good workout. Now is a great time to come out and get your hands dirty, ask questions, and connect with other growers who are also preparing for the season ahead!

    Start time is 1100. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. We hope to see you there!

    For questions or directions, please contact Chris (765) 621-2924 or Joe (262) 388-1261.
