Just announced:
Our 5th annual Farm Tour will take place Saturday, August 17 @ 10:00am.
This is a walking tour so bring sturdy shoes, light clothing, water, sun hats, sun screen....
Kids are most certainly welcome although strollers always prove to be very difficult due to our lack of walking paths and surprisingly steep, mid-western terrain.
We will share with you how we grow, we'll taste some food directly from mother earth and you will meet our lovely and talented crew!
(Alternate rain date: Sat. Aug. 24th)
**Please email us and tell us if you will be coming to the tour and how many of you there will be.
Please stop by and see us to purchase farm grown products...
*Every Thursday 4 - 7 pm on the farm
*Every Saturday 8 am - 2 pm on the farm
*Every first and third Sunday of the month
May 5 through October 20, 2013 9 am - 3 pm at Chicago Botanic Garden
