The Iowa Organic Association will be hosting a Field Day event in Kalona on Friday, June 24, from 9am-1pm, at James Nisly’s Organic Greens.
Iowa Organic Association Education and Outreach Coordinator Olga Reding shares her excitement for the upcoming event, “We will have a farm tour of the indoor micro green facilities. We’ll also check out James’ processing and distribution areas. And, he will also have some grazing livestock in his green manure field. And we’ll also see various vegetable production plots and he’ll give us a cultivation demo for vegetables ready to harvest and the most exciting part too is we’ll have a farm to table lunch.”
The Farm to Table Lunch will include greens from Organic Greens, meats from Boyd’s Bologna, organic cheese from Radiance Dairy, and desserts from Blueberry Bottoms and Wooden Spoon.
Registration for the field day event is $40 or $20 for IOA members and includes the farm-to-table lunch. Reding stresses they do not want the registration to be cost-prohibitive and they have funds available to assist with registration.
