Idaho's Bounty Summer Farm Tour - Saturday August 21st

Carol Rast of Prairie Sun Farm

Join Idaho’s Bounty on Saturday,  August 21st as we visit three Fairfield area farms: Petra, Prairie Sun and Fair Mountain Farm.

Participants will carpool to meet at Petra at 10 a.m., where Teri Backstrom will introduce us to her herd of goats, give us a milking demonstration and give us some goat cheese samples.

Next stop will be at Carol and Jeff Rast’s Prairie Sun Farm where we’ll learn about growing vegetables - including Carol’s famous carrots - in the harsh climate of the camas prairie.

Our final stop will be up towards Soldier Mountain at Fair Mountain Farm, owned and run by Clarence and Tona Stilwill. Clarence and Tona will show us their ancient orchard, herb garden, and gorgeous beds of greens.

Idaho’s Bounty will coordinate carpooling from the Wood River Valley. Please bring water and snacks if needed, and wear appropriate outdoor clothing. This event is suitable for people of all ages, and children are encouraged to attend and learn about where food comes from!

The cost is $5/person or $15/car, payable to Idaho’s Bounty. For more questions and to register, please call Julia Augustus at  208.721.1412 or email jaugustus@idahosbounty.org More information is also available at www.idahosbounty.org
