This is the third in the six-part Elmwood Stock Farm Day-time Tour Series, which is designed to educate you on how food gets from the farm to your plate. The event will include a tour of Elmwood Stock Farm’s vegetable and livestock areas, as seeing firsthand how USDA certified organic crops and animals are raised will offer a better understanding of these labels. Guests will also learn about genetically-modified food-labeling laws (one going into effect in July affects us all) and the changes you might see in the years to come.
