GREEN BAY — The Lake to Bay Chapter of the Wisconsin Farmers Union is hosting a Summer Farm Crawl series, launching on June 7th at Full Circle Community Farm! All are invited to attend, meet their local farmers, and learn more about their unique farm operations and how they sell products into NE WI communities. Take a tour, taste samples of food grown on the farm and prepared by Sabee Culinary Services, and meet other community members who love local food.
Be sure to pick up your passport at the Wisconsin Farmers Union table at the first or second farm stop, and bring it with you to the other stops. If you attend 3 of the 4 scheduled farm tours (and get your passport stamped!), you will be entered to win a $100 credit for SLO Farmers Co-op!
