Sustainable Agriculture Tour
September 22
University of Illinois Extension
For the eighth consecutive year, University of Illinois Extension is offering tours that highlight sustainable agriculture operations around the state of Illinois.
“This year’s tours truly represent the vast diversity in Illinois’s small farms," said Deborah Cavanaugh-Grant, Small Farm and Sustainable Agriculture Extension Specialist who is coordinating the tours. “The tours allow visitors to meet these extraordinarily, creative farmers and producers and find out how they solve their unique problems every day.”
A fee of $20 per person will be charged for each tour, which includes lunch. This year, two adults pay $30 when registered together, and children under age of 10 attend free.
The tour will visit a total of 5 farms in 2010, beginning on May 27 at the Wilken Farms in Iroquois County. Click here for a complete itinerary and links to the registration form.
