Farmland Owner Legacy Award Celebration

Join INHF and Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) in recognizing Nan Bonfils and Don Adams for their efforts to provide land access and long-term conservation on farmland they've stewarded near Boone, Iowa. Nan and Don worked with INHF to protect land with conservation easements as a piece of their farm transition plans. PFI will be awarding the pair with a Farmland Owner Legacy Award and INHF staff Heather Jobst will be present.

Nan Bonfils and Don Adams created Full Circle Farm in 1992 by blending their 100 acres with 200 contiguous acres belonging to Don’s dad. They transitioned the farm to organic and increased farm stewardship while they direct-marketed forage-fed beef. They mentored interns, bartered and rented land to beginning farmers, and sold their herd to a second-generation PFI farmer. 

The event will start with lunch and a reception, followed by a presentation by Don and Nan that showcases their farm and transition efforts. It will conclude with an award ceremony. Attendees can drive a mapped loop to view the corridor of wildlife protection made possible by their efforts. RSVP is required. Learn more and register here.
