8th Notification: 2021 Dutch Cousins Gathering – Brochure & Registration
| The Cousins are Coming! September 24-27, 2021 |
  Saturday, September 25, 2021 3:00pm Regenerative Agriculture: Sustainable Food Production Systems that’s Better for the Environment, Better for the Animals and Better for the Consumer Andre’ Faul currently manages his 100 acre Regenerative Farm in Henry County, KY. His family purchased the farm about 5 years ago and since then they have farmed on the property using regenerative and rotational practices to manage their various livestock on pasture. Currently they produce Pasture-Raised Chicken, Pasture-Raised Pork, Grass-Fed Grass-Finished Beef, Grass-Fed Grass-Finished Lamb and Pasture-Raised Turkey. They also have a very unique product with their Kentucky Grown Saltwater Shrimp. The Faul family is of Dutch descent. After being assigned the quest to determine if they are High or Low, Andre’ discovered that his mother is Low Dutch and his father is High Dutch! The Faul Family Riverside Farm is named after their family farm in South Africa. Even though the farm isn’t beside a river it is only 13 miles from the Dutch Tract that Squire Boone sold to our ancestors in Pleasureville, KY. The Faul’s moved to Louisville, KY in 2000 from South Africa becoming American Citizens in 2014 just 2 years before moving to Henry County. ——————————————————————————————————— We are moving full steam ahead planning for our 9th Dutch Cousins Gathering in Frankfort, Kentucky. The Covid-19 pandemic has presented some inflationary hurdles that we are trying to mitigate. Our main effort is in trying to the best of our ability, to be cost conscious and being good stewards of our seed funds. We have made the decision to email our brochure and registration forms to help ensure a successful gathering. We had quite a lot of returned brochures from our 2019 mailing, which resulted in a tough waste of funding. Please make sure that we have your current contact information – mailing address, phone numbers, email address, and Dutch family surname – by emailing the information to dutchcousinsofky@gmail.com . Please let us know if it is your home or cell phone. If you have previously RSVP’d that you will be attending, please send in your registration and t-shirt forms as soon as possible. EVERYONE WHO ORDERS A SHIRT, AND IS REGISTERED AND PAID BY AUGUST 20, WILL ALSO GET A FREE BAG WITH LOGO TO MATCH YOUR T-SHIRT! (one bag with each $25 registration) No more T-shirts can be ordered after September 10, 2021. For those of you still on the fence we hope that you will take the leap and decide to join us. It will be good to be with our cousins after this most difficult past year. To aid in your decision you may review Kentucky’s Covid19 regulations at https://governor.ky.gov/covid19 and the CDC’s regulations regarding large gatherings at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/large-events/considerations-for-events-gatherings.html Our website is www.dutchcousins.org and these are the direct links to the 2021 Brochure and Registration Forms: Brochure: https://bit.ly/2VwPh6J NEW UPDATED LINK Registration: https://bit.ly/3xyyH4l NEW UPDATED LINK See you in September!
