In June 2026, the Tennessee Farm Bureau Foundation hosted the inaugural Harvesting Hope Gala, bringing together more than 400 farmers, agricultural industry partners and supporters for an evening dedicated to strengthening Tennessee agriculture and rural communities. Thanks to the generosity of those in attendance, the event raised more than $203,000 to advance the Foundation’s mission.

The launch of the Tennessee Farm Bureau Foundation and the success of the inaugural Harvesting Hope Gala marked the beginning of a new chapter in serving Tennessee’s farm families and rural communities. Take a look back at highlights from this memorable evening, and we hope you’ll join us for the 2027 Harvesting Hope Gala as we continue growing hope and investing in the future of Tennessee agriculture.

Thank you to the generous sponsors who made our inaugural Harvesting Hope Gala possible. Your partnership and commitment to Tennessee agriculture helped create an unforgettable evening while advancing the mission of the Tennessee Farm Bureau Foundation.
