As the summer heat intensifies, what better way to cool off and engage with your community than by attending the Kern County Farm Bureau’s “Save Water, Drink Beer” event on Friday, August 16th at Crusader Brewing Company? Starting at 5:00 p.m., this networking event offers a great opportunity to learn about the Kern County Farm Bureau, explore membership levels, and discover what we can offer to both agricultural and non-agricultural community members. 

This event is more than just an enjoyable evening out — it is a chance to connect with like-minded individuals and businesses who understand the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. Whether you are directly involved in farming or simply appreciate the role agriculture plays in our community, this event is designed to bring us all together. 

At the event, you will have the opportunity to meet representatives from the Kern County Farm Bureau and learn about our mission and goals. There will be opportunities to discuss our various membership levels and the benefits each one offers. Our memberships are tailored not only for those in the agricultural sector but also for community individuals and businesses who recognize the vital role agriculture plays in both personal and professional contexts. Agriculture impacts every aspect of our lives, from the food we eat to the products we use daily, and the Kern County Farm Bureau is committed to creating a strong connection between agriculture and the broader community. 

By involving more individuals and businesses, we aim to create a more interconnected community in agriculture. This event is an excellent opportunity to build those connections, share experiences, and explore how we can collectively support and benefit from a thriving agricultural community. 

The Kern County Farm Bureau has several exciting initiatives queued up to build upon our community involvement and support for local businesses.  For instance, our local benefits program will launch in January 2025, aiming to support local businesses by driving more customers their way, while also providing our members with valuable discounts and benefits that they can use in their work or daily lives. If you are a business owner interested in learning more about this program or potentially offering a benefit or discount to our members, we encourage you to reach out to us at kcfb@kerncfb.com

Be sure to mark your calendars and join us for an evening of fun at our Save Water, Drink Beer event and learn more about our memberships or future local benefits program. If the above information is not convincing enough, each attendee will receive two drink tickets and there will also be delicious appetizers. If interested in attending this event, tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite, or you can email us for more details.
