We also work closely with our partner dairy farm to operate and manage the rest of the family land, which provides feed for the dairy herd, and also has conservation practices in place.
Here‘s an article about our plans for transfer this farm for one generation to another, with the hopes that we can keep the land in the conservation and sustainability practices that were first implemented here in the 1940’s.
Jerry is the director of Minnesota Garlic Festival (www.mngarlicfest.com), and Events Coordinator for Sustainable Farming Association of MN (www.sfa-mn.org).
