Description

Join us on a farm tour where we show and share the different ways we are part of the food web (for which we are named).

We will see and interact with our plants, animals, and possibly some wildlife. We will also share our story of how we are a part of the food web here on our farm and the ways that our plants and animals care for each other. We hope to leave you with a desire to get more involved with your food web where you live.

Take home bags with food web crafts for kids will be available.

Workshop fee:  $20.00 (adults) & $10 (children 5-17)


BONUS: Registration includes a free copy of the book Renewing the Countryside: WISCONSIN Stories of Sustainable Living, Working & Playing (a $26.95 value) will be made available to every couple, household or family participating in this workshop (one free copy per address).
