Minnesota Dairy Initiative (MDI) will be hosting two dairy farm
couple night out events that will be available to dairy farmers across the state of Minnesota. The dates and locations of the dairy farm couple night out events are December 3, 2024 in Greenwald, MN at the Greenwald Pub (310 1st Ave N. Greenwald, MN 56335) and December 10, 2024 in Utica, MN at Brewskie’s Bar and Grill (110 E Main St. Utica, MN 55979). Both evenings begin at 7pm.
The purpose of the night out is to have dairy farming couples come together to enjoy time away from the farm with each other. The focuses of the evening will include communication with your partner, relationship building, handling stress, and learning about additional resources. The evening will also include a free meal and opportunities to network and socialize with other farming couples.
Monica Kramer McConkey, Rural Mental Health Specialist with MDA and Emily Krekelberg, University of Minnesota Farm Safety and Health Extension Educator will be presenting and facilitating the evening.
All materials and the meal for the evening are free for attending couples. RSVP is encouraged, but not required. To RSVP please contact MDI State Director, Emily Mollenhauer, at (651) 764-0309 or [email protected].
