TRACTOR SUPPLY CELEBRATES LOCAL FARMERS, MAKERS AND ARTISANS WITH HARVEST FEST

Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, is celebrating the people who grow, make, bake and create in communities across the country with its nationwide Harvest Fest on Saturday, Sept. 12. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time, participating Tractor Supply stores will welcome local farmers, makers, bakers and artisans to sell their goods in a farmers market-style event for the community.

“Out Here, our neighbors grow, make, bake and build incredible things every single day,” said Eric Jackson, Vice President of Marketing at Tractor Supply. “Harvest Fest is an opportunity to celebrate those talents and support local entrepreneurs. Many of these makers shop our aisles every week, so it’s a privilege to showcase their hard work and celebrate the communities that make Life Out Here so special.”

Adding a special FFA connection to this year’s Harvest Fest, the first 20 customers at each store will receive a free limited-edition tote designed by FFA member Mia Harman of Bonners Ferry, Idaho. In April, Tractor Supply hosted a design contest for FFA members, inviting students to submit a bag design for the chance to receive a $250 Tractor Supply gift card as well as a $1,000 gift card for their FFA chapter to use toward funding future projects. Mia’s winning design captures the essence of life on the farm with livestock, produce and an idyllic barn, and is centered around the phrase “Rooted in Ag.”

Popular Harvest Fest items include handmade crafts such as birdhouses, wind chimes, jewelry, crocheted items and custom-forged knives; homemade cakes, bread, hot sauce and popcorn; local honey, canned goods, fresh produce and so much more. After attendees fill their totes, they can browse Tractor Supply’s extensive lineup of seasonal farm-inspired accents and Halloween costumes and décor. Customers will also receive a coupon for $1 off Pepsi products with a $5 spend, while supplies last.

To further support FFA members, customers can donate to Tractor Supply’s FFA Future Leaders fundraiser at checkout in-store or online until Sunday, Sept. 20. Donations fund scholarships for FFA members pursuing studies in skilled trades or agriculture-related fields.
