The Great Lakes Queer Farming Convergence (GLQFC) 2025 is a four-day, grassroots gathering for LGBTQIA+ farmers, growers, land workers and 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 2025 will be held largely outdoors, with space for overnight camping and shared meals. In order to create a container for the weekend that is as inclusive and accessible as possible, arrangements can be made for alternative accommodations and other accessibility needs upon communication with the planning team. The hosts 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.
