How Culvers' Scoops Of Thanks Day Supports Local Agriculture

Culver's restaurants throughout Illinois and Wisconsin will be serving up $1 frozen custard scoops on May 1 for one very important reason.

Supporting Illinois and Wisconsin Farmers

When my family and I moved to Pecatonica, Illinois from Rockford almost 4 years ago, I very quickly learned that some things matter way more in small, rural communities:

Sports.
Helping neighbors.
The importance of supporting agriculture.

Some of the best friends my daughters have made in this community come from farming families, and because of that, (and my daughters' deep love for animals), conversations about 4H and FFA have become more of a norm in our home.

I never thought in a million years that I would have children who would want to show animals (their rabbits), but here I am loving and it and looking for ways to support important agriculture organizations.

Sweet May Day Treat From Culver's

Culver's is a favorite for many people living in Illinois and Wisconsin, not only for their delicious frozen custard and butterburgers, but also because of the focus the company puts on supporting farmers.

Since 2013, Culver's "Thank You Farmer's Project" has donated more that 6.5 million dollars to agriculture education, providing food to communities in need, and supporting "climate-smart agricultural efforts that produce nutritious food".

Culver's annual "Scoops of Thanks Day" is one big way they do that...

Throughout the day on May 1, Culver's locations throughout Illinois and Wisconsin will be offering a free scoop of custard in exchange for a $1 donation to local FFA chapters and other agriculture education programs!

You can choose a scoop of your favorite Culver's custard flavor, BUT their flavor of the day on May 1, How Now Brown Cow, sounds pretty darn amazing...
