Celebrating Farmers: Culver's Annual Contest

Culver's, a well-established name in the fast-casual dining scene, has announced the launch of its beloved annual event known as the "To Farmers With Love Contest." This initiative, running from July 14 through August 1, 2025, aims to spotlight the vital role farmers play in producing our food supply and to show heartfelt appreciation for their relentless hard work.

An Invitation to Nominate
The contest invites Culver's guests to nominate a special farmer who has made a significant impact on their community. Submissions can be completed by visiting the contest page and sharing a photo, video, or written story that answers one of several prompts. These prompts encourage participants to reflect on the ways their nominated farmer has positively influenced lives or advanced agricultural practices.

For instance, participants might share how a farmer changed their life or how the farmer has worked tirelessly to ensure sustainable and responsible farming methods. This year's contest showcases the interconnectedness between farmers and consumers, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the agricultural community's contributions.

A Rewarding Experience
As a token of gratitude, five lucky farmers will win a fantastic prize package. Each winner will receive two VIP concert tickets and travel accommodations to either attend the Tim McGraw concert at the iconic Field of Dreams Movie Site on August 30, 2025, or enjoy the Velocity Music Festival slated for August 31, 2025, in Dyersville, Iowa.

Attendees can expect more than just music; Culver's will host a special "Blue Room Experience" at the concert. This interactive area will provide samples of their renowned Vanilla Fresh Frozen Custard, lawn games, and unique photo opportunities, all designed to celebrate farmers and the agriculture community.

Nick Abate, a producer at U.S. Concert Agency, expressed his enthusiasm about the event, stating, "We're thrilled to partner with Culver's to bring the first-ever concert to the iconic Field of Dreams Movie Site. Tim’s background as a former FFA member adds further depth to this partnership, emphasizing the importance of appreciation for farmers."

A Long-standing Initiative
This contest aligns with Culver's broader mission through the Thank You Farmers Project, an initiative dedicated to supporting agricultural education, hunger relief, and climate-smart agriculture. Since its inception in 2013, the project has raised over $6.5 million directed towards enhancing the future of farming.

Liz Haferkorn, director of marketing at Culver's, remarked, "The Thank You Farmers Project is intrinsic to our identity as a company. Farmers empower us to offer delicious, farm-fresh food to our guests, and this contest serves as a gesture of our gratitude to the farming communities that make a positive difference each day."

Get Involved
To participate in this heartwarming endeavor and nominate a deserving farmer, simply visit the Culver's contest page. The winners will be revealed during the week of August 18, allowing them to prepare for an unforgettable experience filled with inspiration and celebration.

Through this initiative, Culver's not only pays tribute to the unsung heroes of agriculture but also strengthens the bond between farms and communities, celebrating the countless stories that intertwine lives and livelihoods. Join in to honor those who work tirelessly to nourish and sustain us all.
