Harvest Ball 2025

The Harvest Ball is an annual signature event hosted by Farmer’s Outreach Solutions, INC in partnership with The Tennie Agriculture Group, LLC. It serves as both a celebration and a strategic gathering to advance the mission of bridging agriculture with Agribusiness development, while empowering communities through sustainability. Overall, The Harvest Ball acts as a convergence point — where agriculture, Agribusiness, advocacy, and community development meet. It’s not just a formal event; it’s a catalyst for connections, capacity building, and showcasing the impact and potential of agribusiness in underserved or evolving communities. The event will span multiple days (October 31 to November 2), located in North Hills Raleigh, North Carolina, Hilton Hotel, inside the spacious and beautiful venue(s):
