The Great Lakes Queer Farming Convergence (GLQFC) 2026 is a grassroots gathering for 2SLGBTQIA+ farmers, growers, and land-stewards to make connections and build real-time community. The gathering will include loosely organized programming, community-run workshops and round tables, opportunities for shared somatic practice and art-making, dialogue about collective action and the queer farming movement, and spaciousness for being present with one another and the land.
GLQFC is an outdoor event. Everything from meals to workshops happens outside at our host farm. At night, attendees camp in tents or cars. If there are accessibility needs around sleeping such as the inability to camp, needing electricity for a CPAP, or if you need to borrow camping gear, the planning team can help find a solution so you can attend. The planning team provide the structure that shapes the flow of the weekend, but all who attend co-create the space in some way - through their presence, contributions to conversations, skill and workshop offerings, and the magic that happens when queers converge.
