Area Farmers and Food Producers Invited to Field Tour at Good Nature Farm

Grand Marais, MN. (6/27/2024)— Uni­versity of Minnesota Extension is partner­ing with the Lake Su­perior Chapter of the Sustainable Farming Association and the lo­cal Northwoods Food Project to host a field tour in August at Good Nature Farm.

The field tour will take place on Friday August 9th from 1-4 pm. Participants will meet at the farm field located on the right-hand side of Casper’s Hill Road in Grand Marais just before fire number 122. After touring this field, we’ll proceed as a group to the family farmstead further up Caspter’s Hill Road. There is no fee to attend the field tour. Advance regis­tration is requested, however walk-ups are welcome.

Attendees will meet farmers Nick and Kris­tin DeArruda Whar­ton and connect with fellow local farmers and producers. “Meet­ing and learning from fellow farmers and local food produc­ers is a great way for both beginning and established producers to gain insights into growing food in our re­gion”, says Local Ex­tension Educator Sarah Waddle.

To register for the tour, visit z.umn.edu/GoodNatureFieldTour.  Questions about the event can be direct­ed to the Cook Coun­ty Extension Office at 218-387-3015 or swaddle@umn.edu.
