It exists because the farms joining us NOW are doing more than buying advertisingā€”theyā€™re helping us build and test something we hope will benefit local farms AND local families for years. \n\n\n\nAnd hereā€™s the part Iā€™m especially excited aboutā€¦ \n\n\n\nThis isnā€™t going to be a random directory sitting by itself on the website. \n\n\n\nImagine youā€™re checking RuralNEWfamilies.com because the kids want something to do Saturday. \n\n\n\nYou find a festival\, fair\, park or other adventureā€¦ \n\n\n\nThen you discover thereā€™s a sunflower field nearby. \n\n\n\nAnd thereā€™s a farm stand five minutes down the road where you can grab sweet corn\, eggs and fresh baked goods ā€“ Roadside Stands make the BEST Road Snacks for the way home. (Whatā€™s your favorite ā€œweirdā€ road snack? \n\n\n\nTHAT is what weā€™re building. \n\n\n\n Local Family FUN \n\n\n\n Local Farm EXPERIENCES \n\n\n\n Local FOOD \n\n\n\nOne website helping families turn an ordinary Saturday into an entire rural adventureā€”while putting more visitors and dollars into the farms and small businesses that make our communities special. \n\n\n\nWeā€™re not done yet. \n\n\n\nBut weā€™re close enough now that we need MORE farms\, stands and experiences to help us finish this right. \n\n\n\n Have a farm stand OR farm experience? NOW is the time to get in while weā€™re still offering the introductory rate. \n\n\n\n Donā€™t have one? You can still help tremendously: tag a farm\, farmer\, roadside stand\, orchard\, pumpkin patch\, U-Pick or farm experience we should know about! \n\n\n\nEspecially one that fills one of the gaps above. \n\n\n\nLetā€™s build something that makes it easier to keep Northeast Wisconsin families happy\, exploringā€¦and FED. \n\n\n\nSHOP Your Local Farm Stand Guide HERE \n\n\n\nFind Your Local Farm Stand Guide Here (sign up here too) URL:https://ruralnewfamilies.com/event/%f0%9f%a7%91%f0%9f%8c%be-farm-stand-guide-introductory-rate-sign-up-2/2026-10-19/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Community Resource,Farmers Markets,Plan Ahead,Shopping ORGANIZER;CN="Rural Northeast Wisconsin Families":MAILTO:mariev@ruralnewfamilies.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261019T101500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261019T111500 DTSTAMP:20260824T050622Z CREATED:20260824T050619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T050622Z UID:10016992-1792404900-1792408500@ruralnewfamilies.com SUMMARY:Babygarten DESCRIPTION:Fun and engaging activities for babies up to 18 months. \n\n\n\nActivities Include: \n\n\n\n\nStorytime and Singing\n\n\n\nNursery Rhymes\n\n\n\nSocial Playtime\n\n\n\nCraft (once a month)\n\n\n\n\nCome Play\, Learn and Grow Together URL:https://ruralnewfamilies.com/event/babygarten-3/2026-10-19/ LOCATION:Marion Public Library\, 120 North Main Street\, Marion\, WI\, 54950\, United States CATEGORIES:FREE,Library/Museum,Youth & Family Programs GEO:44.6712452;-88.8889175 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Marion Public Library 120 North Main Street Marion WI 54950 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=120 North Main Street:geo:-88.8889175,44.6712452 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261019T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261019T120000 DTSTAMP:20240404T154706Z CREATED:20240404T154704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240404T154706Z UID:10004936-1792407600-1792411200@ruralnewfamilies.com SUMMARY:AA Meeting - Back to Basics DESCRIPTION: URL:https://ruralnewfamilies.com/event/aa-meeting-back-to-basics/2026-10-19/ LOCATION:First Presbyterian Church\, West Presbyterian Street 100\, Shawano\, WI\, 54166\, United States CATEGORIES:AA/NA Meetings GEO:44.7785164;-88.6096198 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=First Presbyterian Church West Presbyterian Street 100 Shawano WI 54166 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=West Presbyterian Street 100:geo:-88.6096198,44.7785164 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261019T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261019T160000 DTSTAMP:20261019T014030Z CREATED:20261019T014027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261019T014030Z UID:10017588-1792414800-1792425600@ruralnewfamilies.com SUMMARY:Free Bingo DESCRIPTION:Come play bingo with us for free!
