The Elderflower Retreat at Hillside Pastures is brought to you by the Savanna Institute, a nonprofit based in Spring Green, WI and Champaign, IL that lays the groundwork for widespread agroforestry in the Midwest. Agroforestry describes regenerative farming practices that incorporate trees – like the ones demonstrated on the farm at Hillside Pastures.

The Elderflower Retreat is managed by Erin Crooks Lynch, Savanna Institute’s Campus Engagement Manager. Erin leads efforts at the Spring Green Campus relating to engagement at the campus farms, and educational programming through workshops, volunteer activities, and major events. Erin and her partner Jeremy operate Enos Farms in Spring Green, a former farm-to-table and zero-waste catering business, and current pastured pig farm aiming to create excellent pork with a light carbon footprint-achieved through intensive rotational grazing and silage systems. Her passion for creating purposeful gatherings dates back to her time spent living in France, working at L’Etoile Restaurant in Madison, and exhibited through Enos’ widely known Harvest Moon Dinner.
