Join us for a vibrant celebration of community, agriculture, and conservation at the 2025 Kaw Valley Field Day! Hosted by Save Our Soils Kaw Valley Foundation, this annual event brings together families, farmers, and friends to enjoy local food, music, educational workshops, and fun activities amid the beautiful landscape of the Kaw River Valley. Held at the iconic Shirk Barn, surrounded by harvest-ready fields, Field Day is a festive, hands-on reminder of the land’s value—and why it must be protected.

Field Day Highlights

This inaugural event is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of community and the land that sustains us.

• Americana, bluegrass, and alt-country music

• Hayrack rides through scenic farmland

• A pumpkin patch for kids and families

• Educational talks about local soils, farming, and the threats posed by industrial sprawl

• Vendor booths, food trucks, local breweries, and beer tents

Surrounded by autumn’s bounty—corn, soy, pumpkins, and winter squash—you’ll see firsthand the richness and productivity of the very soil we strive to protect.
