Field Trip re: food production in Iowa - FYI. A chance to ask some of the
serious questions raised in the recent issue of the Sierra magazine - well
worth reading cover-to-cover, in my opinion.
Best,

Subject: LIFE Tour-6/30-Living an Iowa Farm Experience

Saturday, June 30th is the first of the Silos & Smokestacks/Country Heritage
Community motorcoach tours in our "Living an Iowa Farm Experience (LIFE)"
program.

This tour is "Farm to Table," a series of visits that take you to a modern
dairy, an organic beef producer, a cheese factory, a small modern locker
plant and a family-run market.  You'll get to talk to the producers and
processors first hand and find out from the inside what it takes to get our
food from "farm to table."

Along the way you will learn about many of the interesting historical sites
we'll pass by and through some of the most scenic byways in NE Iowa.

Lunch will be in Elkader at your own expense. Free 12-quart coolers will be
provided to purchase farm-fresh products along the way.  If you wish to have
a seat on the coach for this first tour, please contact Peter Jorgensen at
[log in to unmask] to reserve your space.  First come, first
served!

Thank you,
